The fact is that AOL and the Huffington Post simply recapitulate in the new media many of the worst abuses of the old economy’s industrial capitalism — the sweatshop, the speedup and piecework; huge profits for the owners; desperation, drudgery and exploitation for the workers. No child labor, yet, but if there were more page views in it…
Umm.... I think theL.A Times has forgotten that they wrote and posted these articles without being forced to do it. Slaves had no choice, these Libs had a choice and chose not to get payed. Sure, they were used, but they were okay with it until now. I guess the Communist utopia was all a hoax perpetrated on the workers (as is the case with ALL communism). Those at the top get richer and those at the bottom stay there. Why so capitalist all of the sudden?
