  I mean so does the United States thanks to the 13th amendment but we don’t have anywhere near the same infrastructure to show for it

    American slave labor isn’t used for anything interesting - it’s just letting companies pay less for labor for their own benefit.

        that’s not the slave labour that’s building china, just as prison labour isn’t what’s powering the US

        the actual productive slave labour is done by regular workers who nominally have “freedom”, just that they don’t actually have a choice if they and their family want to live.
