No, capitalism has little to do with left/right orientation. You can have equal arguments regarding slave labour from both the extreme communistic left (think gulags) or the extreme communist right (think of the Bergen-Belsen slave labour camps).
Similarly what we see now has little to do with classic liberalism or conservatism. Neo-conservatism is just another form of big government intervention. larry On 3/7/06, Sam <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > So you think conservatism and capitalism is all about slave labor and > removing workers rights?
