I think about the issue of slavery

I think about the issue of slavery. I say it is still in existence in its various capitalist forms. The customer service worker, the student, the child prostitute; they are all slaves to the capitalist system. The cheapest labor costs for the highest profits possible. We must recognize that slavery was free market driven. There were no restrictions or regulations imposed. Slavery flourished. It was not the generosity of the British that made them abolish and eventually chase down slavery in the rest of the world. No, it was a source of cheaper labor to compete with the poor in England. And in the face of civil unrest it is advantageous to keep the jobs in England and not export them. The industrial revolution was in full swing.
