@theodoricfriede: not at all nor do I understand how you can interpret it that way. The earlier point was that just because people participate in a system doesn't mean they are not simultaneously trying to end the system as you pointed out earlier about slaves breaking tools. The second point was because one participates in system doesn't make their criticism or desire to see the system end illogical or invalid. I didn't imply slaves chose to be slaves. I implied that slaves resisted their condition and fought back.
