Capitalists may have the same mentality as Nazis: that people must be enslaved

That's what transpires from Hannah Arendt's books : that the IG Farben demanded from the Nazis slave labor, and Jews were exploited so that the Capitalists that owned the IG Farben could obtain the profit maximization, and produce chemicals with basically zero costs of productions.

This is what Capitalism does to men: it transforms them into greedy people, who lose their humanhood, so I am entitled to call them greedy wolves.
Greedy, sadistic wolves disposed to enjoy seeing Jews dying while working in those camps.
They even built their factories around Auschwitz on purpose.
It's all in Hannah Arendt's book The banality of evil.

Thoughts?
;)

At least to certain degree it is true.

Capitalism is modern slavery.
It also makes us, less human.

The liberal notion of "slavery".....
Employer: "I'll pay you $30/hour if you work for me."
Employee: "What? You won't give me money unless I perform work for you?"
Employer: "Yes. Why else would I give you money, eh."
Employee: "That's slavery! Support me! I shouldn't have to work just to survive!"

Please...in certain EU countries it is legal to pay people 3 euros a hour.
Spare me this nonsense!

Having worked in the industry and in several companies, the story is not that.

Looking at the picture, the employees are turned to robots. They work like robots everyday long hours. No time to live. Just work. No freedom.
Such is the system we got used to, and we think there cannot be a better way. 1000 years later, those people will look at us, as slaves. But we don't see it, because we got used to it.

Employer: you do as I say, or I fire you.

Employee: but I am doing my best.

Employer: your best is not enough. We want to make more money. You must work harder.

Employee: but I am getting stressed and sick.
Employer: buy a life insurance. Don't worry, if you died, or got really ill, insurance will pay your loved ones.

That's my point.
Liberal claims of "wage slavery" are bogus histrioinics.

They have the freedom to
quit, & seek another job.
Duh!

There are no freedom. That is an idea just like God and utterly meaningless as it has no evidence. It is a fairy tale and something children believe in.

In theory yes. But working in another company is just the same story.

beside that many have bought things with loan. If they quit, they are worried they may not be able to pay the expenses.

So, they have to put up with whatever.
