    Child labor is definitely not historically unique to capitalism, even in the modern era.

    Stalin famously conscripted people into the labor reserve starting at 14 and the gulag system has plenty of history of child labor. And so on.

      What’s the difference between prison and a gulag? The same difference between an oligarch and a billionaire

      Edit: holy shit it’s like arguing with Colin Robinson don’t bother

        Im not really sure how that has anything to do with my comment. You can’t dunk on capitalism for child labor and then be like “it’s ok if Stalin does it because capitalism does it.” That invalidates the original dunk, no?

          I don’t know where you think I’m defending Stalin, I’m just pointing out, america uses juvenile detention centers for child labor as well. Gulags=prisons
