The custom of slavery

By: Faik Konica

Slavery, like any other suffering, after it burdens the back for a while, eventually becomes a well-liked habit, and those who hold it bear it with joy. Except for those who are born slaves, slavery is like a second nature; and they not only do not understand what liberty means, they feel a certain hatred for the defenders of liberty, and cherish the deepest respect for the expert tyrants of the rod and chain.

Also from Faik Konica:

- What do foreigners think of Albanians?
- They asked the Albanian if he will go to Hell, and he answered: How much is the salary there?
- Albanian "experts".
- Some tips on the art of writing
- Albania's enemies

What we say are not dry theories. We have historical facts that prove it. Everyone knows that from 1861 to 1865, there was a great civil war in America between the Northern States and the Southern States. The North, with Lincoln as President, set all slaves free. Yuga did not like this action. The South wanted to keep slavery as a legal institution and seceded from the North, proclaiming a separate republic with Jefferson Davis as President. Everyone knows the ending: The South won, America was reunited, and slavery was gone for good. Lincoln was assassinated at the end of the war. Davis kept watch until 1889, as a slave man, and the beauty is what it was like when this man who had shed so much blood to end slavery died: it was a strange thing, that two thousand ex-slaves continued to mourn Davis's death. -its! Behold the force of habit: the freed slave had his heart and love attached to the enemy of liberation.

When human nature was like that, is it any wonder that a majority of Albanians have in their souls the worship of the yoke? Sons, grandsons, great-grandsons of slaves, slaves themselves, the word freedom is nothing but a mysterious and dangerous thing to them, which must be either aired or coldly received. The wonder is that we also have in America a majority of these ridiculous and vile slaves. Free of arms, their brains are chained. And it is beautiful that a person continues the behavior of this herd. As soon as they have a little extra time from work, they don't go out to get the fresh air to cleanse their livers from the optical germ, - they go like sheep from "inn" to "inn" and from shop to shop making propaganda against the Campaign . "What is that liberal party?" say the slaves.

"We have a government and we must strengthen it. What the government does is good. The people in Albania are satisfied. Do not listen to the rumors, because your money will be lost".

And their words find support from a dark crowd of spies and laros, - semi-wild pseudo-traders who are bankrupt and on top of it, scumbags who came among the Albanians from no one knows where and with what. orders, uncivilized Varangelists with "den-baba-den" backs softened by the stick, gamblers, lazy people, etc. This crowd, unwashed in all senses of the word, has some hidden goals - and one open goal, which is: to prevent Albania from becoming a modern State built on solid foundations, if it remains a cloudy and weak nation , easy to overthrow when the greed of the neighbors finds the opportunity.

Only the wise should know one thing: the slaves I mentioned, spies left over from Albania's past regimes, have nothing to do with the HOMELAND. They really bark, lick, stick their noses in every pig, - and not even one in ten is a member of the Federation that I have the honor to chair. And whether there are seven or eight in total, there are those who enter unnoticed through the door when they find it open, they are elegantly leaving the window when they are discovered by the caretakers of the house.

The work is square. VATRA has promoted and promotes a modern, serious and honorable Albania. The liberal party that was organized in Albania will try to win the majority in the elections, to implement the ideals of the HOMELAND. Do you like this idea? Support the Liberal Party as much as you can, ignoring the scumbags, who will go about their business without a word. /First published in 1923/
