Indeed the arrangement is violent and enforced with terrible violence, and in no way is this incompatible with profits.

How does this account keep managing to make every thread on HN into 'communism bad' without getting flagged? Tell me your secrets Walter.

>History shows us that slave labor cannot compete with free labor.

History shows us that you can build Pyramids and the Chinese wall with slave labor, probably not affordable with "free labor". But maybe we should also look at "modern slavery" that is "free labor" but without any chance to get another job or get reported to the police.

>it's about forcible slave labor, forced with guns and whips.

Worked incredible well for Belgium, and works incredible well for every warlord in west-Africa...and for us (>bloody< cheap raw-materials for our phones)

I know what you want to say with it, forcing specialized people with whips isn't going to give you good results in the long run, however if you just need their joules it's shockingly effective.
