    Absolutely true. But under what system is there significantly less exploitation? Too many people are selfish, cruel or both.

      Naturally, a system that promotes wealth distribution and not one that promotes wealth capture.

      This is a situation where the only correct answer is to change direction. Do not set requirements for perfection when even mild improvement is so easily attained.

      EDIT: One specific step would be to make worker-owned corporations a requirement. The stock market can stick around for all I care, but the business capital should only ever be controlled by the actual workers. That doesn’t mean companies would have to restructure or fire executives. Delegation of duty is absolutely a thing.

      Normal people wouldn’t have to worry at all about such a change. Though maybe if their job was figuring out how to cut meat off the company for profit, they might have to worry…

        So conquer the world and force it on it because otherwise how do you control what the Congo does to their children?

          How about we start with punishing companies that knowingly integrate shave labor into their supply chains?

          That can be done without colonialism, imperialism, or invasion. Much like how the EU is forcing American tech companies to be less shitty.
