Best explanation I've heard yet. Every time I try to counter everyone I always get Capitalizm=/=Slavery and it's like just because it's not racist doesn't mean it's not doing more damage to hard workers and slavery was never racist just because a short history recently was. Capitalizm=Slavery doesn't really say how bad capitalizm is and that's not denoting how horrible slavery is.
As far as I can tell, the only significant benefit that modern "slaves of capitalism" (if you will), have is that, compared to actual slaves, we can't be beaten, sold, or outright murdered on a whim.
The physical abuses are no longer allowed.
Mental and emotional abuse is fine though, as long as it's filtered through a thin coat of "corpo-speak" so that HR can rubber stamp it.
You're missing starvation, homeless, oh and, the fact that police do all that shit you deny being done....
