So other political and economic systems do not have a history of slaves too? Whenever I see things blaming capitalism for our issues I worry as it means we are no laser focused on the root cause of these sorts of issues…centralized powers getting too big and unchecked no matter their political flavour.

Most have a history, yes.

But the slavery with nestle is still going on.

Any social hierarchy requires centralized power. It just happens that capitalism is the dominant economic system in the world today that reinforces that hierarchy. The problem is social hierarchy. If only there was an economic system that seeks to abolish hierarchy. Oh well, guess we’ll keep looking…

Lol one wonders why this system has never been implemented. Oh it's because it needs complete centralization of the economy.

There’s the rub that the fellas over at Hexbear think they have the answer for. No disparagements, I just don’t think it’ll work out the way they hope.
