    You’re thinking about how things are today, not how they might be in a decade of further capitalist degradation. What if there are no others to hire to replace your unproductive employee?

    If something like what I described were to ever happen, it would not be a single company operating in a “normal” market full of others not using slaves. Just like slavery in the American South, it becomes the economy. We have a history of enslaving others, why wouldn’t those willing to enslave use a technology that makes their job easier and far more secure?
