There used to be communism in small villages, and it was the only environment where communism worked. Because everyone in a small village knew each other, so they could engage in 'gift giving', but this wouldn't work with strangers. Strangers had to barter or exchange money, due to lack of trust. The advent of agriculture meant that small villages were outnumbered by larger barter-based societies, and would have to pay tribute to survive. So, basically, imperialism undid communism, but imperialism is inevitable like entropy, given that every human society has engaged in it. Communism became impossible once agriculture was invented.
you need extreme trust for communism to work
something beyond what the human brain is evolved for
tl/dr
same with ancapism, more or less

slavery costs more than minimum wage tho
lol
well with slavery, you have to look after the salve
slave*
would you want special rights for your slave status
okay, well you still have to look after the slave, so you gotta pay health care, food, clothing, and room
and then you gotta purchase the slave
with minimum wage, there's no guarantee of any of that
there's no surprises in the budget
it's just a guaranteed wage for time when they show up
Only if you stop at a minimum wage
or room or clothing or food, etc.
yeah i was assuming they'd stop at minimum wage
so there you go
If you compound that with mandatory sick leave insurance and make the company pay for it
under that, minimum wage is cheaper than slavery
depends on their medical history i suppose, and genes, and age, etc.
lol
you could treat a slave like you would treat a minimum wage employee
which could include yelling at them
even if the slave has zero rights
There was some news a month ago or so that in Lybia they sell slaves for 400 dollar no?
he'd still cost more, because he still gets sick, etc.
so you could beat the slave so as not to inflict injury, why not
doesn't change anything
i think wage increase causes inflation after a certain point
no, you can get pain inflicted without any injury
there's special sticks
Yeah, abusing people does not give them a +1 hp
you mean stress?
