RE: Chinese Slave Labor (was Re: say no to urban skydiving Re: AW: Aunti Behring



      I also see alot of US workers as wage slaves. Paying rent seems a 
form 
of indenture to me.The term Landlord is  fuedal. Education is compulsory 
and 
geared (despite the efforts of many caring teachers who don't choose 
curricula) to training obediant workers who will produce on schedule and 
accept forced compettitive hierarchy.The cognitive dissonance between this 
and true liberty is quite stark ,in my view.I'm not convinced that  
sitting 
in one spot indoors doing toxic industrial production is necessarily a 
step 
up from fuedal farm work,which does allow people contact w/ nature and 
good 
exercise,but having no first hand experience ,I can't tell what Chinese 
workers  think. China is poised to dominate the world economy,and the sort 
of rising level of expectation that marked US economy in the 20th century 
is 
the likely course.Hard to tell if Chinese workers will fight for better 
conditions and rewards ,but the prospect  of  Bigger, Better, More is sure 
to motivate them as disciplined workers in a way the US has outgrown,and 
Japan is outgrowing.Seems like it doesn't take many generations of 
consumer 
goods overload to wipe much of the memory of hundreds of generations of 
abject serfdom  from the collective "consciousness"
