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.

lmao do you think china has an industry of mustache-twirling villains whose job it is to threaten peoples families if they dont work for free? Presumably they work for free to keep their families alive too.
