This is it..

according to nozick, in his capitalist utopia, supposedly one can enter a "voluntary" slave contract as opposed to being forced into slavery. this is ridiculous, aside from the obvious contradiction of "slavery" and "voluntary", capitalism is not a system of voluntarism and lack of coercion due to its separation of socioeconomic class with money as a method of gaining and maintaining power over others. the capitalist class succeeds because of keeping people from reaching any sort of mobility--this is why neocolonialism is what upholds capitalism. if one were to eliminate the state or decrease its role in the economy, this system of domination and exploitation would still remain, as the state under capitalism is, like private business, first and foremost guided by profit. such a system is detrimental to the survival and wellbeing of humanity as can be seen with rampant starvation and poverty during a time in the 21st century where wealth and resources for survival are more abundant than ever before in history. what is a "voluntary slave contract"? capitalism is a system in which capitalists already use slavery, including child slave labor, thanks to neocolonialism that puts colonized or formerly colonized people in a situation where they have no choice but to work to near death after being robbed by imperialist nations. neocolonialism cannot he eliminated without eliminating capitalism because profit maximization in a competitive market is a driving factor behind it. thus, you can conclude that any sort of theory arguing capitalism and voluntarism can coexist is entirely disconnected to reality and also used to excuse human rights violations.

false flattery smh
