Yes, capitalism enables exploitation by allowing people who own capital to decide working conditions for people who do not. This is why exploitation is seen everywhere capitalism has ever been tried. I’ve also gave you a concrete example contrasting communism in USSR and the transition to capitalism along with all the horrors that followed. You just proceeded to ignore that.

People deciding working conditions for others is not absent from all other systems.

@rah @yogthos That’s literally the system Americans live under right now. It would be best if workers had a say in the place they spend most of their waking hours in!

In response to my comment asserting

Unless you have some argument that capitalism somehow provides some specific cause to enable exploitation which is absent from all other systems …

you stated

capitalism enables exploitation by allowing people who own capital to decide working conditions for people who do not

which appears to be you attempting to make that argument.
