And the labor market follows the capitalist flag.
The most barbarous fact in all christendom is the labor market. The mere
term sufficiently expresses the animalism of commercial civilization.
They who buy and they who sell in the labor market are alike dehumanized
by the inhuman traffic in the brains and blood and bones of human
beings.
The labor market is the foundation of so-called civilized society.
Without these shambles, without this commerce in human life, this
sacrifice of manhood and womanhood, this barter of babes, this sales of
souls, the capitalist civilizations of all lands and all climes would
crumble to ruin and perish from the earth.
Twenty-five millions of wage-slaves are bought and sold daily at
prevailing prices in the American Labor Market.
