Ya because every Communist society has not used slave labour on a massive scale. :roll: In actuality capitalism and slavery are mutually exlusive concepts, because the basic premise of capitalism is that the means of production are privately owned whether that be a factory or the human body. Under a truly capitalist sytem the individual is owner of his own body and has exclusive rights to control over and use of all services, goods, and capital generated through the labour of that body.
uhh. .in a communist society their wouldn't be any slavery. I can't argue that there are any communist countries I have ever known. All models in history have used currency in one form or other while true communism is cashless. However they may be cashless they are enfranchised by the state, as such they are working for self benefit as well as collective benefit. Though individual gain is sacrificed to a large degree it would not indicate slavery. Working for the economic gain of someone else without personal economic gain is slavery if no wealth is transfered in the contract between buisness and employee. It was the southern cotton farmers that benefited mostly in recent history from slavery. Again though slaves are not paid.. even in a capitalist economy. The cost of labour is the primary expense in any business.
