[QUOTE="rickyb, post: 1542792, member: 56035"] im not saying slavery and capitalism are the same, but they have things in common like exploitation which is what this thread was about. i see that the zeitgeist movement is about ending exploitation too beginning in the 3rd world. corporations have had record profits since the 1990s maybe farther back. these corporations are not having a hard time profiting off employees. maybe for mom and pops its hard, but not for the big guys. and if capitalism was reasonable you would know how much money you are making for the capitalist. but its bigger than that, and thats to say if we care and love democracy so much, it should apply to our workplace. owning shares to elect a board of directors who dictate to everyone wat to do is not democratic enough. and you know what many americans agreed with me in the 1800s. they called capitalism "wage slavery".
