Is there any system besides capitalism with regulations we have in developed countries without child labor? Child labor existed in the Soviet Union and in communist China. Historically the idea that children should not perform labor is very recent.
Are there any developed countries that have moved beyond Capitalism yet? Are you genuinely attributing Capitalism to removing child labor, instead of the workers that organized and fought against it? That's like giving the US government credit for the Civil Rights movement.
Is your claim that there will be some future utopia without capitalism and without child labor? Sure, that’s something to dream about.
If humanity has failed to move beyond Capitalism and child labor, then humanity lost to the climate crisis or nuked itself to death. The idea that Capitalism is sustainable is Utopian and foolish.
Well that’s just, like, your opinion, man.
An opinion based off of analyzing data and coming to logical conclusions. I can't know the future, but I can certainly say that the sun will rise tomorrow morning.
I analyzed data logically and came to different conclusions.
Then talk about them or don't, not sure what just saying "that's your opinion" and walking away like it's some revelation does.
You never supported your statement with any facts either, you just presented it as one. I merely pointed out that it was one persons opinion and not some settled issue.
What, specifically, do you take issue with?
you stated that capitalism is human nature and based on reality. none of those statements are true. my job here is done.
I said no such thing! That’s a ludicrous statement.
Lol i almost think he's a bot from that.
i support direct democracy. i think the economical system should be maintained by democracies sustained by a lot more direct democracy processes. even if that economic system is capitalism it should be restrained by a lot more people voting directly on regulation and less on representation.
i hope i answered your question and i'm sorry for the confusion.
