Certainly not a recent development. Slaves were used in the past and now they are just paid slaves, most of whom can’t even afford a lot of basic necessities. What alternatives do you mean? All I want is some regulation and some human rights.

capitalism == feudalism == bolshevism
The share of human prosperity was thanks to workers fighting for socialist reforms
