Abolitionism

Abolitionism or Anti-Slavery is a non-quadrant political ideology that is against slavery. According to his philosophy, all people, regardless of their ethnic origin, are free and should not be at the mercy of other people.

Beliefs
Abolitionism, as already mentioned, opposes slavery and believes that it would be something inhuman, as it believes that humans are born free. It is culturally ambiguous, as there are as many conservative abolitionists as there are progressives, although most slave regimes are culturally reactionary. Most oppose colonialism and racism, because of slavery in the Americas and Africa, with many (especially in Latin America and Africa) associating abolitionism with anti-imperialism, although there is debate about this. Abolitionism was influenced by Enlightenment and Classic Liberal ideals (Adam Smith, John Locke (debated), James Garfield and others) and by some Judeo-Christian examples. Abolitionism is also economically neutral, as the only economic position in fact is opposition to the slave economy, which can range from socialist to capitalist.

Relationship with Christianity
There is debate regarding Christianity and slavery, as religious skeptics claim that Judeo-Christianity was used to justify slavery especially in the Middle Ages. While in fact various regimes used Christianity as a justification for slavery, many abolitionists also had a biblical basis, even if some opposed the clergy. Some examples in the history of Christianity that oppose slavery could be:
 * Moses freeing the Hebrew people
 * Deuteronomy 23:15-16
 * Isaiah 58:6-9
 * Quakers
 * Pope Benedict XIV, Pius VII, Pius IX, Gregory XVI and Leo XIII
 * John Brown and countless other examples

[[File:LeftAbolition.png]] Left-Wing Abolitionism
Left-Wing Abolitionism is a variant that believes that capitalism would enable Modern Slavery/Neo-Slavery because of greed and capital accumulation. They usually preach something close to Democratic Socialism or Marxism-Leninism, with some Social Democrats. They believe in the abolition of the capitalist system that would generate "contract slavery" and socio-economic inequalities with racist content and that this would be used to exploit and oppress the working class. Some notable theorists might be Pranav Jani in "Colonialism, Slavery and the Origins of Capitalism" and Trish Hosein.

[[File:RightAbolition.png]] Right-Wing Abolitionism
Right-Wing Abolitionism is a variant of liberal or conservative ideals, believing that capitalism and the free market would be an essential basis for the abolition of slavery. Liberals believe that state interventionism in the economy and socialism would eventually breed slavery, with modern liberals using the Soviet Union and other communist countries as an example. Conservatives also have similar beliefs mentioned before, but combined with anti-revolutionism, tradition, nationalism and respect for religion. Some notable theorists are: Adam Smith, James Garfield, Abraham Lincoln, Samuel Johnson and the popes mentioned above, as well as the Libertarian Party's 2006 LPRadicals caucus.

[[File:IslamicAbolition.png]] Islamic Abolitionism
Islamic Abolitionism is a strand that believes that Islam can be related to the anti-slavery struggle, entering into disagreement with both Islamophobes and Extremists/Jihadists. While there have been examples before, the most notable country to enforce anti-slavery was the Ottoman Empire, with dignitaries from relevant rites opposing slavery, such as those from the Hanafi and Maliki rites. They sparked arguments with some who considered it contradictory to the Qur'an and early Islamists, although they argue that slavery was temporary and would be largely illegal. Later, Tunisia banned slavery thanks to the reformists in 1846, setting an example in the Islamic world. Currently, several Islamic prophets oppose slavery, using interpretations of the Qur'an, such as the condemnation of anyone who enslaves a free man.
