Before I go to bed

One common argument for sweatshops is that without cheap labor companies would raise the prices of their products.

The answer is usually ‘they don’t have to’.

The answer should be ‘the fact that this is even an actual problem shows how dysfunctional and harmful capitalism is’.

Let’s say one company genuinely can’t afford to pay tons of people decent wages and raises prices of products. Guess what? That’s not the employees being unfair in their demands. It’s a mess of an economic system designed to fail.

There doesn’t need to be significant proof companies can lower prices because it puts the stability of capitalism over basic human decency. Same goes for universal healthcare and access to education. If it cannot be implemented and people are left behind due to profit, that’s not faulty planning, it’s literally a result of capitalism.

‘The minimum wage is only working in small areas in first world countries’…ask yourself why? There is no magic market force. Just profit-motivated individuals thriving off global exploitation.
