Ross William Ulbricht is a free man at last 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

The only thing I liked about Trump's campaign and Trump in general was his promise to free Ross Ulbricht on day one. And so here we are on day one. Despite my strong anti-Trumpism and opposition to Trump himself, I find myself waiting to see if he'll actually keep that promise.

I also hold anti-capitalist and anarcho-syndicalist views, influenced by Rudolf Rocker, advocating for the dismantling of oppressive hierarchies while fighting for a more just society.

Ross Ulbricht is condemned to die in prison for creating an anonymous e-commerce website called Silk Road. An entrepreneur passionate about free markets and privacy, he was 26 when he made the site. He was never prosecuted for causing harm or bodily injury and no victim was named at trial.

Users of Silk Road chose to exchange a variety of goods, both legal and illegal, including drugs (most commonly small amounts of cannabis). Prohibited was anything involuntary that could harm a third party.

Ross was not convicted of selling drugs or illegal items himself, but was held responsible for what others sold on the site.

Modern day slavery. Undercutting the labor market with workers who are given no other choice, and where their earnings are largely gobbled up by the state. And being a hard worker means you will be denied parole.

Alabama has earned hundreds of millions of dollars from prison labor since 2000.
