Keynesian capitalist economics is like ameliorating the slave code

[Farmer-Rick]

There were the Quakers who promoted abolition of the entire institution of slavery, and then there were societies that attempted to pass slavery laws or slave codes to make the slave's life easier. Codes such as restricting the total number of work hours for slaves and allowing Sunday worship. They promoted time off for slave women after birth, time off for slaves to plant gardens for food, some went so far as to decree that certain parts of a slaughtered animal had to go to the farm's slaves.

In the end, the entire institution of slavery had to be abolshed due to its continual horrors.

So there were 2 ways that people addressed the horrors of a slave economy. There are also 2 ways that people address the horrors of a capitalist economy.

There are those who want to pass codes and laws to keep capitalists in check, to prevent some of the worst horrors of capitalism. They pass minimum wage laws, work hour limits, rules for new parents and other laws and codes to prevent the slave, I mean the worker, from suffering too much.

Then there are the abolitionist, like me, who think the whole instutution of capitalism has to go. That like slavery, capitalism at its core is immoral, inhumane, excessively cruel and continually leads to ever harsher treatment of worker, or slaves by captalists or masters.

But so many for so long have been addicted to capitalism and can't stop themselves.
