    Are there any developed countries that have moved beyond Capitalism yet? Are you genuinely attributing Capitalism to removing child labor, instead of the workers that organized and fought against it? That’s like giving the US government credit for the Civil Rights movement.

      Is your claim that there will be some future utopia without capitalism and without child labor? Sure, that’s something to dream about.

        If humanity has failed to move beyond Capitalism and child labor, then humanity lost to the climate crisis or nuked itself to death. The idea that Capitalism is sustainable is Utopian and foolish.

            An opinion based off of analyzing data and coming to logical conclusions. I can’t know the future, but I can certainly say that the sun will rise tomorrow morning.

                Then talk about them or don’t, not sure what just saying “that’s your opinion” and walking away like it’s some revelation does.

                  You never supported your statement with any facts either, you just presented it as one. I merely pointed out that it was one persons opinion and not some settled issue.
