So it's still strange that you're saying slavery improves standards of living for the enslaved if their "owners" are nice. That naturally implies that you believe slavery is a good thing under that condition.

kind of like communism

One example is in italy the govt will give so many unrmployed ppl their ei in lump sum to start a coop

Another would be a bank loan

Another would be if you have your own money


Everyone has evil in them

Then why doesn't the employee do that instead of taking a job and work for someone?

And everyone has the potential for evil in them. Starting a legitimate, legal business isn't evil. You seem to think it is. If a person starts a business and only works for himself is he still evil? If he gets busy enough to need help should he turn down the extra work or should he create a job that will allow the person working for him to be able to feed himself and pay his rent? Should he only hire someone who makes as much as he does and can say how things are done?

Business is often evil

It should be a partnership. 1 worker 1 vote.

Why did slavery last hundreds of years? Probably partly bc those who control the economy, control wat we think. This was a message in the matrix btw. There was "moral" arguments for slavery which chomsky mentioned in that video

You're not answering my questions. And providing goods and services people need isn't evil. And has nothing to do with slavery.
