GLOBAL SLAVERY |
||
Introduction There is a huge body of human beings on Earth presently forced to work as slaves. Wikipedia states: In 2008, the United Nations estimated nearly 2.5 million people from 127 different countries are being trafficked into 137 countries around the world. Some authorities, however, believe 2.5 million to be an inflated figure. Under capitalism, literally everything is for sale including human beings. Those members of the ruling class who are even less scrupulous than the rest of this class see no moral difficulty in holding people in slavery, if profit can be made through such an endeavor. In a system that glorifies, and indeed requires, profitmaking, it is little surprise that many persons take this ethic fully and pathologically to heart and act accordingly.
