You do know Capitalism was making the slave trade unfeasable. Technology is superior at mass production. It increasingly made sense to invest in machinery etc. The most skilled slaves were eventually given free reign and only had to pay a fee to their master. White nations and their Capitalist technology ended slavery - at least in the Western world.
Which is perfectly in line with the Marxist doctrine of historical materialism. What is your point?
My point is the moral and economic superiority of the Free Market works in practice (not doctrine).
Free marlets are not the same as capitalism. There have been marketa for way longer than capitalism has existed.
It isn’t capitalism that ended slavery, but humanism.
Capitalism, no matter how technologically advanced it is, will require employees to maintain all those machines. And what kind of employees cost the least, thus making the best profits? Slaves.
The American civil war was capitalism vs capitalism, the only difference was that one side was more humanist than the other.
It is only a thriving (free market) society that has the resources and time to spend on humane projects. A free market society that embraces technology requires less and less manual workers. It does require more skilled (hence free) workers - not slaves. See farming. The American war of succession - where one side humanely denied a divorce. Forced relationships are so humane!
