I thought slavery was bad for capitalism? is this a way to pay people less and have the government pay for their life instead of them?
How is slavery bad for capitalism?
Slavery is amazing for capitalism.
Slavery is cheap labor.
Capitalism loves cheap labor.
Slaves don't consume much, less people that buy stuff the less income a company would make
Publicise costs, privatise profits!
Government has provide the bare minimum for the gulag slave so that a corporation can extract nearly all of that sweet surplus value of labour.
