  >>Did you read the comment chain before jumping in? You have not responded to a single question I made. I only assume because you have no arguments and are only interested in repeating ideological tropes. >> My point is that capitalism didn't improve conditions for children, it made them in many ways worse by forcing both adults and children to work harder, and in worse conditions. I don't think either us can imagine how hard life was before industrialization, but millions of people leaving the country side to work in the factories should give you some information what people prefer. >>Your contention that we simply got rich enough that child labor went away is not based in any reality. "Lefitist" had to pass laws to stop capitalist from using child labor. This is really devoid of historical reality. Did you know some communist countries had forced child labor? >>Its a fight we are still fighting today. Child labor is so hot with capitalist right now. I guess have fun fighting wind mills.
