There’s more slavery now than at any time in human history, according to this UN task force.
It makes you wonder, of course, that if our capitalism depends on slave markets… is it really capitalism?
Someone please help me to understand…
The private economy is the main source of the rise, while state-enforced labour counts for one in seven cases of modern slavery, the report adds.
I wonder if mandatory military service counts for “state-enforced labor”
How are there high income people in slavery, that doesn’t make sense to me
The UN sponsored report uses a pretty liberal definition of slavery to include things like wage theft (which forces workers to stay at a job until they’re fully compensated), sex trafficking, and domestic servitude where the servant’s documents are confiscated so that they can’t flee.
However, there’s still a hell of a lot whips and chains slavery in Africa and South East Asia. Those slaves serve the excavation and manufacturing industries.
What we have isn’t capitalism, capitalism only works until you add people
Fucking love key and peele
You think the US is bad try 10 years of forced labor in a Russian chemical factory with little protection from the chemicals.
US constitution is not a moral or criminal or other type of code for all cases of light. It does not forbid, for example shoplifting or driving on red light.
You could have worded this better, and I’m not legal expert, but I think you mean: the U.S. constitution doesn’t make claims about morality. It gives penalties for doing certain actions.
Sure, but that’s beside the point.
So what’s the point?
Damn, TIL. You just planned my weekend, thanks for the tip!
Is it immoral? Don’t they “owe a debt to society”?
Uh yeah so uh
That green leafy thing
If you inhale itFIFTY FUCKING YEARS BUCKO
and other totally arbitrary justifications for putting a drastically skewed selection of your citizens into enforced labor
