It's good they're trying vaguely at least 🤷.
I don't think this is capitalism exactly. The Chinese and Russians certainly do their own forms of slavery (fishing boats, gulags etc).
There's more slaves in the world now than at any prior time. Lack of education (kids not in school too), poverty and wild birth rates are probably the biggest factors here, particularly in Africa.
The west can exert a lot of pressure here for good:
The US engages in domestic slavery too.
The 13th amendment has a very convenient loophole:
It is one of the many reasons, perhaps the largest reason why African Americans are incarcerated at 6 times the rate of White Americans, on a national average.
Yet people still don't believe systemic racism exists.
jesus christ, some of you seem to be unaware that current Russia is very capitalistic Also, as someone from a third world country, the west is not interested in any of that
