Capitalism and the 13th Amendment

That, as has been previously discussed, "We the people", in the preamble to the U. S. Constitution, rigorously analyzed, refers to only the authors of the document, and not to all the citizenry, is a merely semantic quibble.  However, that it precludes the inhabitants of the territories that are not full 'citizens', i. e. are slaves, is a much more substantive problem.  Now, the ugly history of racism tends to obscure the fact that as an Economic relation, Slavery long precedes both Capitalism and Marxism, both of which have proven susceptible to it.  But, while Marxism, de jure precludes Slavery, i. e. in its concept of the collectivization of property, Capitalism does not.  So, the 13th Amendment of the Constitution implicitly distances it from the latter system, even as de facto neglect of or resistance to that repudiation continues.
