I'm surprised it took the Left this long to develop a fondness for the Confederacy. Of course they have to condemn slavery as it was practiced in the CSA, because of its racist component; but with that little detail out of the way they should find themselves right at home. If you read the writings of George Fitzhugh, the South's leading apologist for slavery, it will be amazing to you how he anticipated the modern Left's critique of capitalism. The Left longs to replace the Society of Contract with the Society of Status (as long as they're the ones drawing the lines of status), and what could be more Old South than that?
