2006: The only reason WalMart is successful is that it supplies needs for people. It does not do anything unethical. When I need underware, or socks, or DVDs, I often go to WalMart. It provides plain, ordinary stuff, efficiently produced by Third-Worlders who are happy for the chance to work.

1806: The only reason the plantation system is successful is that it supplies needs for people. It does not do anything unethical. When I need cotton, or tobacco, or indigo, or sugarcane, or rice, I just go to the market square and buy it from a friendly, helpful plantation owner. He provides plain, ordinary stuff, efficiently produced by happy, singing slaves.

Moral: Economic practices in which human beings are mere means to an end are immoral no matter how well they work.

Yeah, WalMart is just like slavery. Thanks for that tidbit.

what a moronic post. Nobody is forcing anyone to work or shop at walmart. Are you anti walmarters really this dense?

Karl Marx showed us all the way for humane manufacturing and social relations. If all production was done for Human Values we would all live in a Marxist Utopia today.

Those third world people need to be kept in bare subsistence poverty so that HumanValues people can feel good that they are not being exploited by Big American Capitalists. ThirdWorlders' Harmony-with-Nature lives of famine and poverty should not be exposed to capitalist exploitation that forces them all to get fat and to live so long that they die of heart disease.

WalMart is like slavery?

Are you F-n retarded? Human bondage and the scourge that it was in the American South HAS NOTHING to do with WalMart.

You aren't forced to shop there, you aren't forced to work there.

Go back to DU.
