It’s not capitalism when it’s illegal

That’s like saying de-frauding your customers is “just capitalism”

It’s illegal to hire non-citizens for pennies/hour borderline slave labor. Obviously if it had nothing but benefits it wouldn’t be illegal

And finding one benefit as an excuse to justify it to me seems like a cop out. “I throw my trash out the window of my car because it provides jobs for highway cleanup crews, I’m benefitting the economy”
Human slavery was legal, is that also not capitalism?

Yes, yes, I realize slavery existed well before Adam Smith and shit I just think "crony capitalism" is just capitalism
