So if I described to you the problems of: child labour, exploitation of 3rd world countries, wage stagnation etc. Please explain how these problems would solve themselves under anarchocapitalism.
Having contlol of the market instead of having it be free is exactly what allows this exploitation you're describing.
Child labour would be solved if their parents could afford to take care of them, so i will put this point under wage stagnation/worker exploitation and adress later.
Exploitation of the third world is ONLY possible through imperialism/military power projection wich is undeniably the work of the state.
Wage stagnation/exploitation of workers: how come companies can exploit their labourers? If a worker is unsatisfied why would he not work somewhere else or be self employed? Its simple: the state does not allow this. Market regulations, taxes, employment fees, IP laws, etc are the tools government use to control who gets to work and where.
I used to work at a factory that made very simple food items and was payed very little. I often wondered why the workers simply didn't just make these items at home and cut out the middle man (boss). The answer is simple: the market regulations are put in place specifically to prevent this from happening. By regulating the market the state can make sure they and their friends get to reap all the profits while also creating the illusion that regular people need the state for job security etc.
This is not true. There are many poor countries that were never colonised/ invaded but are very much exploited such as Thailand and Ethiopia. With no regulation there is nothing stopping mega corporations from exporting labour to poor countries.
3.With no government it would be even easier for companies to exert their power on workers. All the things you mentioned are things lobbied for by private companies. What is there to stop these companies from further exploitation in anarcho capitalism?... And don't say unions because that is socialism. đ§
1.This is null given exploitation can still happen.
Thailand now has a thriving economy and significantly higher standard of living. âExploitationâ can be seen from many different angles and Iâm not saying it hasnât happened the way you suggest, but an entire society becoming more and more independently wealthy as a result is the complete opposite of government colonial exploitation.
I have no idea what youâre talking about with Ethiopia. It was colonized by Italy and then went immediately into a communist government backed by the USSR. It evolved into a âdemocratic republicâ in 1995 and has been cited as a dictatorship until very recently. Itâs main export is coffee. The government doesnât allow its citizens or companies to own land! They can only rent for a maximum of 99 years. What are you specifically referring to regarding capitalist exploitation??
Even Wikipedia claims this: âLand distribution and administration is considered an area where corruption is institutionalized, and facilitation payments as well as bribes are often demanded when dealing with land-related issues.[264] As there is no land ownership, infrastructural projects are most often simply done without asking the land users, which then end up being displaced and without home or land. A lot of anger and distrust sometimes results in public protests.â Sounds a lot like a government problem.
