Capitalism will always maximize profits at the expense of humanity.

Colour no longer matters, child slavery has become massive in the former USSR after the collapse, or should i say dismantling of socialism.

This figure does not include those kept as sex slaves, which is in the millions also.

HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF CHILDREN ARE WORKED TO DEATH EACH YEAR....... yet capitalist governments, many backed by the USA, do nothing to abolish it.

Child slaves are now too importantin the world economy for the liberals to stop, the right just plain like the siuation.

Today they do not pick cotton, they stich designer clothes, they work their fingers to nubs, or they have their hands chopped off at 8 and are used to carry diamonds to theor masters with them attached to their backs.

Most clothes will have made in "third world nation of your choosing" on the label, consumerism drives the child labour industry, cocacola have been very quick to force children into slavery, cut off limbs andstarve them, then in court, blame sub contractors or security personel for their savagery.

But even if we stopped drinking Cola, or buying nike, they would just be used for other thing, the only answer is a socialistic economic and political change to sweep slavrEy into the dustbin of the past, along with capitalism and all its evils.

Those profiteering from this abomination will feel those shackles they used to contain these children rappd around their necks, and will certainly feel the wrath of the masses.

The sad part is that some capitalists rationalize and state that its okay because the children would be starving otherwise. If starving children or oppressed children are the only two answers that capitalism offers then any man with a sense of decency should be a communist.

Any capitalist, who actually knows what capitalism truly is, is a tyrant of his own heart

We have a long road to travel to get to our just and equal world. The sooner we can kick this disgusting, murderous system into touch, the better. :mad:

We should refuse to purchase products made by child and slave labor.

But the Capitalists' rationale is that "Those poor children would starve to death if we boycott these products" etc...

Nonsense - they should be in school!

honestly i find the individual boycott to be useless. only through mass action will a boycott be effective. even then, id rather fight to get these capitalists out of power than to force them to stop doing a few bad(very bad) things.

This is why I laugh at the idealists who base their whole political identity on denouncing the supposed crimes of the proletarian dictatorships. How many more children would have been slaves like this if "monsters" like Stalin and Mao had never existed? 20th century communism saved the lives of millions, and lifted up billions more.

This shows that no liberal or right-leaning intellectual fucker can hide behind their "free" market-Mises-bullshit theories, while the system they advocate depends upon the subjugation and bombing of the majority of the planet's population.

The only problem with this is that it's really quite difficult to live buying only 100% ethical items, especially if you're on a lower budget. The only way to stop this kind of thing from happening is abolishing what causes it in the first place.

24,000 children under the age of five die from preventable causes every . single . day

That's 1,000 every hour, almost seventeen every minute, about one every four seconds.

And that's only children under the age of five.

Its hard to believe that this happens, while at the same time pharmaceutical companies operating in the first world are the most profitable industry that have ever existed, and they could save all these lives for a couple of cents each but don't because it would affect their profit margins...

They die and we're told 'thats just the way it is'

If saving your life isn't profitable you die, simple as that in their eyes, however they try to justify it.

Its a horrible world we're living in, I wish more people would wake up.
