Last week, Kmele Foster held a masterclass on capitalism, defending it against The Atlantic’s Jemele Hill, who tried to turn it into a race lecture. To her, slavery was America’s primary economic driver. What history class did she attend? That’s factually untrue. Then again, the Left writ large remains historically illiterate and has a laughable grasp of the subject. Her tweets about it were slapped with a brutal community note:

Economic historians find slavery enriched owners but was not the main driver of US economic power. Cotton ~5% of GDP; North industrialized freely. Emancipation produced large gains (4-35% of GDP).

And the reactions were as expected:

Go back to class, Ms. Hill.
