Why is slavery not practised today, as it has been throughout history in virtually all civilizations?

It is, it's called unequal exchange
>>
>>18579610
Because its easier to own everything and charge rent. That way legalism protects you under a pretense of fairness.

eu and America continue to import illegal browns by the millions and pay them a pittance

slavery is alive and well today it just has taken a different form
>>

>implying the mutumbos and Ahmeds that end up in the EU illegally actually work
Mexicans do work in the USA I will hand you that
>>
Slavery still exists, in the sweatshops of Asia, only that it is out of sight and out of mind so the ever benevolent American can continue to pat himself on the back for going to war with the evil slave driver southerners even though his shoes pants shirt and practically all he uses was made by an slave working in conditions worse than the Negros in the South
>>
>>18579610
13th Amendment. US judges have the universal, unrestrained right to enslave anybody appearing in court.
>>
Because states nowadays can just indoctrinate the entire population through its schools into working for it so they just don't distinctive castes of slave laborers anymore.
>>
>>18579667
Its not just schools, they're only a institution. Read foucault to understand how/why society is constructed that way.

Every behavior is engineered and enforced so that the system keeps running by itself.
>>
>>18579623
I never understand this because sanctions are also oppressive, as well as charity work and if you do what ever china does,.you are also doing neo colonialism, so it's a lose/lose/lose situation. There's no way to interact with a poorer economy without being oppressive.
>>
>>18579736
The basic concept that force of arms factors in dictating relative prices is correct and you are living through it in real time as american hegemony collapses and with it the freedom of navigation principle it and previously Britain enforced. Still, marxian economics is just as myopic as orthodox economics if in different ways.
>>
>>18579610
No longer economically viable
There are of course moral objections to it but there basically always have been somewhere, those objections only really start making ground when people stop making money off of it.
>>
>>18579610
It is, just out of sight in third world countries, tightly locked personal properties, prisons, etc.

Fuckin white people ruined it for everyone

>Why is slavery not practised today
They just use workarounds to achieve the same end goals. Hiring a Portuguese fisherman to work on your boat and holding him captive to work for 24/7 for months at sea is slavery in everything but name but the companies that continue to do fishery enslavement allover the world in NW Europe and SEA get a slap on the wrist.
>>
>>18579657
>implying the mutumbos and Ahmeds that end up in the EU illegally actually work
They actually do anon. Don't fall for cheap propaganda thrown about online, entire industries in the EU are departing on illegal labour and/or bonded labour conditions in sectors like agriculture, construction, fishing, and more. You need to read up on it to see how prolific it is in Europe. They moved on from abusing Eastern European/non-EU Euro state victims to non-Europeas which means it's still ongoing.
>>
>>18579845
Oh there's also the massive proliferation of gig jobs where workera have no real rights or proper forms of non-exploitive wage payment
>>
>>18579839
Do you even know what slavery is?
>>
>>18579852
Being forced to work 24/7 against your will, with little to no food, sleeping hours and at threat of being thrown overboard is by definition forced labour which is still slavery. You rely on an extremely strict and outdated definition of it that doesn't encompass the many complex forms of it across history and modern times. American chattel slavery isn't the sole implementation of forced labour.

No, forced labor is forced labor. Slavery is when you legally own a human being.

Slaves were actually expensive as fuck.

You had to house them, feed them, clothe them, train them, send them to the hospital if something is wrong, and do all of that shit for their family members as well.

Modern wagecuck slavery is much cheaper.

You didnt have to do shit.
>>
>>18579873
They aren't mutually exclusive. In the case I used above thise ship owners have directly and total power over the person's life. How are you this stupid? The whole "legal ownership" part is too limiting a definition since in the American South slave owners loaned out slaves to people.
>>
>>18579898
On top of that having direct legal domination over a person was NEVER the sole way to leverage power. You had colonies use slave labour on public projects and they weren't "legally owned" because the state was the one directly coercing the subjects into work with basically no pay or ways to avoid the forced labour (i.e. temporary enslavement) outside of running away.
>>
>>18579845
I believe the German government itself recently admitted 85% of the 900k Syrian refugees they took in never went on to get a job


illegals work in USA because the gibs are paltry at best
>>
If you tried to make me your slave I'd shit into a napkin when you weren't looking, freeze it and then wait until you sleep and then shove it down your throat until you choked to death in it, and the last thing you'd see on this earth is me smiling down at you as you gasp and choke and flail and every taste bud and olfactory organ is my shit overwhelming you as you BEG for mercy :)

>>18579610
Slavery is somewhat centralized such that the slaver has to provide shelter and food and medicine to his slaves in a way you can streamline this process such that it's more beneficial than paying people but when you add that there are some moral objections and that capitalist society tends to ever more decentralised demand based organization its too much of a bother for little profit. I could see it work in some places but why bother really?
>>
>>18579610

It should be. Not based on ethnicity or race, but on antisocial behavior. Death row and life sentenced inmates should work to give back to civilization. So should the obese, especially if on welfare. They should not be compensated.

99% of recorded human history can't be wrong.

That's not true. You can give the poorer economy money

It is still practiced in Mauritania. It is often connected to tribal caste systems and Arabiziation. Technically, it has been illegal on and off but it is still practiced. There is also still slavery in some areas of Mali where there account of caste is still enforced. I think Chad still has some slavery as well.
