    Capitalism optimizes for efficiency. Sadly slavery is terribly efficient in terms of economics. Therefore capitalism needs to be capped by society at certain acceptable limits. Which is called socioeconomics and its not perfect but the best system we have. insert handwavy remark about whatever america is doing here

      the problem with this is that we depend on the capitalist overlords to keep their pinky promise of not fucking with our rights.

      right now they are breaking it again because they can.

      i also don’t think having the majority of the money/value going to a few owners is efficient at all.

      Capitalism is based on free exchange and wage labor. Unless a slave has volunteered to be a slave, using a slave is not “free exchange”.
