Hmmm . . . wrong. Inherent in the term "capitalism" is the requirement that people own themselves and are free to trade their labor. Capitalism requires the freedom of labor to switch employers. According to your definition a society that was composed entirely of factory owners and slave labor would be capitalist. Even left wing douche bags aren't all stupid enough to buy into that proposition.If looks like a duck, walks like a duck and quacks, it IS a DUCK. Chattel slavery is capitalistic by every definition there is.Slaves were taxed as property, owned as property,and sold as property. Slavery was part of different economic system in history. Perhaps we are still in the age of enlightenment and reason that spawned our government and Constitution?
