Forced labor equals fascism? That's kind of limiting the extent of tools at capitalism's history, including slavery. The latter part of your comment begs the question, who makes a good capitalist? I'll go along with the gist that a capitalist, according to Reisman, "is anyone (from a janitor to a millionaire) who lives solely by his own effort and who respects the rights of others." I couldn't agree with that more. But it's also a broad and ammoral principle; it applies as much to the indentured servant, or slave, as it does the highly skilled artisan.


That's half-true. But proper competition keeps everything reasonable. If you don't like how one company acts, you can create your own company and pay better if you want to. Naturally, many of the workers from that company would migrate to yours. The other company, thus faced with losing its workers, would have to increase its employees wages in order to stay in buisness.

Or, the other company can call out their corporate lawyers and remind everyone of the non-compete clauses... and there goes my dream of slaying the corporate Goliath.
