typical whataboutism argument. his points about capitalism are actually true, to a degree. many of the products that we rely on in the States and other first world countries do come directly from sweatshop labor and questionable harvesting practices.
The reason for this is not strictly because of capitalism, but rather because of strict labor laws in the first world countries making labor too expensive. The market always takes the path of least resistance, so when slave and sweatshop labor are on the table, the market will take those over well paid and well fed laborers.
Either we actually enforce tariffs and sanctions on countries that allow slave and sweatshop labor, or we ease labor restrictions domestically so that it would actually be financially reasonable to hire domestically.
Unlike communism, capitalism actually has a solution to bad labor conditions.
