The 8 hour workday, the weekend, no child labor, all these laws we take for granted were fought and killed for. Children, men and women died for these laws. Capital, the owner class- the Epstein class, whatever name you give them- would ABSOLUTELY still be sending children to their death in mines if they could
Technically, the Epstein class still sends children into the mines. Not in person of course. They had a chain of command back then, and they have it now. Back then, it was all their own management inside their country. Now it’s multiple companies between them and the children in the mines. Sadly, these rights have to be fought for in every single country anew. Hard to do while the country is trapped in eternal war though. Congo never had a chance.
