Child Labour: Industrial Revolution to Present—Refuting Viki1999

There is a lot of misinformation surrounding the history relative to child labour, especially in correlation to the industrial revolution of Britain or the United States, whether it was the claim of children forced into working in the factories along with their mothers, or children beaten up, more importantly, however, painting that period as if the term children was just all one, as if they were all the one group.

Whilst Viki1999 uses the present day in reference to child labour, there is correlation to the past, such as the poorer countries who are having to go through their own industrialisation to get to where we are today. Viki's assumption is that they can just go from A to Z overnight and it's the fallacy of staring at their living conditions and wages and then erroneously comparing that to our own.

As I've addressed, capitalism even within this mixed economy, has been the driving force for the improvement of the workplace relative to wages, workweek hours, safety, etc. This changes the face of socialists arguments, especially what Viki1999 tries to claim. Viki has attempted to redefine the meaning of child labour to solely fit around dangerous industry and children forced against their will, problem with Viki's argument is, however, you don't get to just change the meaning of child labour to suit your own agenda whenever it suits.

The truth is, there are many safe industry today children are more than capable of working in, especially when it comes to computers doing graphic design, programming, etc. The reason Viki tries to exclude all of that is because it flies in the face of the argument Viki is trying to make.

Viki1999 concedes that poverty is the main driving force for child labour, but then ignores that those countries suffered at the hands of socialism. Her solution to get rid of capitalism in of itself, as well as thinking that more money would somehow solve the problem not only proves Viki doesn't understand inflation and where it derives from, but also that she doesn't comprehend why such an attempt to get rid of the private sector would lead to economic disaster, which I've touched upon many times before.
