i would like to test this very literal and short depiction of why capitalism breeds slaves
When the u.s exploits a foreign country, since some kids starve that food can be used to feed the children of the u.s. Those well fed children now have time to build Ferrari’s instead of feeding themselves. Furthermore the guy who creates a Ferrari will never have to work again because masses will give large portions of their resources to him. Once he has a bulk of resources the distribution of resources amongst the non rich (the buyers) becomes more and more scarce. Eventually it will degrade along with the economy of the country to a point where the distribution of wealth is so one sided, that masses are forced into necessary roles of greater servitude to sustain their needs of survival. but it does go beyond just global economy, the flow of wealth within a country is by nature a one way street.
what word best describes a necessary role of greater servitude (labor, occupation, work, job,)? my answer, and i am not happy with it, is Slave.
Probably the best way to get a better idea of a capitalist slavery situation would be to move to a communist or socialist society for a few years to see if the slave term still has the same flavor of thought.
Well, history has shown that enslaving the lower classes often fails in a violent and bloody fashion. It wouldn’t take a lot to incense the people to rise up against the rich and the rich are well aware of this so they walk a fine line. Much as they would prefer to use the stick, they must proffer the carrot to ensure their own survival.
