Thank you , uPrinceofLucis ! You have awarded karma to user uarchiearcher . Moderators of rpumparum <| sep |> While I agree with the sentiment you are laying the Marxism a bit too thick . Now , wage slavery is you being required to work or either starve , it requires the impossbility of have savings and therefore be sooner of later not be required to work . This leads to a race of the bottom which lowers the average wage . This happens mainly in coubtries which have incredibly lax labour laws andor social security nets riddled with an incredibly number of holes . China ' s labourer condition is improving at a staggering pace and their lawsregulations are good at protecting workers . If you want to look for a country with slave wages look no further than the USA .
