Even though Jefferson wrote "All men are created equal," in the Declaration of Independence he did not live up to it in practice. Instead he promoted the bloody mob rule of the French Revolution's anarchists and planned for, and put into practice, a slave based manufacturing economy in the United States. When Jefferson was challenged by Benjamin Banneker, an African American astronomer, as to why the principle that he wrote into the declaration should not apply to all humans regardless of their skin color, he tried to tarnish Banneker's intellectual abilities.
Jefferson vehemently opposed Alexander Hamilton's National Bank. Aaron Burr, then the Vice President, shortly after killing Hamilton in a duel and wanted for murder in New York, was feted by Jefferson at the White House. This was the same Burr who had used chicanery to get legislative approval by falsely claiming to contract for supply fresh water to the New York City, and instead to create what was to become Chase Manhattan Bank via a technicality written into the legislation. Contrary to the populous ruse of being against "big banks" Jefferson and his allies like Burr were really opposed to the economic principles that Hamilton as President Washington's Treasury Secretary clearly enunciated in his reports to Congress promoting a National Bank. In those reports, Hamilton openly attacked Adam Smith's Wealth of Nations dogma that free trade in the bounty of nature was the source of profit. Instead, Hamilton located wealth as the ability of humanity to improve nature through applying the principles of scientific advances to increase the well being of society.
Hamilton was the instigator and author of Washington's policy of non engagement in the French Revolution that was encapsulated in his Farewell Address. Today's anarchists are the current pawns of the "too big to fail" banks in London and Wall Street.
Today, America's manufacturing base has been decimated by the free trade deal economics of the same Chase Manhattan that Jefferson's friend Burr fraudulently created. Today's anarchists promote the Green New Deal economics that would further reduce the living standards of the world's populations. In effect they are allies of the looting of America, not merely in their actions in riots, but in the plundering of America's industrial base by free trade corporate raiders and the race to the bottom of outsourced cheap labor.
So the question is will we resolve to put the ship of state aright by reorganizing the economy via the genius of Alexander Hamilton's principles or will we continue to be duped by the heirs of Thomas Jefferson and Aaron Burr.
Postscript: I am in the midst of reading a rather remarkable piece detailing the history of the Jefferson versus Hamilton factions in the early 1800s entitled
"Ireland, Haiti and Louisiana and the Idea of a Continental Republic (1797 – 1804)" by Gerald Therrien. I find this note discussing Hamilton's preference for Jefferson over Burr:
"Monroe did not rule out the issue of war, he simply (and honestly) stated that if there was to be war, it should be under a ‘republican’ government and not a ‘federalist’ one. He was more worried of losing power than of a war. This confirms General Hamilton’s opinion of the ‘republicans’, and why he disagreed passionately with their ‘Jacobin’ ideology. But he never doubted their patriotism or would call them traitors. This can be seen in the question of Jefferson or Burr for president. While General Hamilton greatly disagreed and distrusted Jefferson, he found him infinitely preferable to Burr. This could also be seen among the ‘republicans’ – when a dinner was held on the eve of Monroe’s departure from Washington City, and every ‘republican’ congressman and senator attended, along with Pichon and Yrujo, but Burr was not invited!!!"
