Anyone who can be bothered to say that people working in sweatshops would like to be doin so or enjoy it, has never worked a fucking day in their entire life. that is all
You're totally right. We should dismantle any and all sweatshops and send those poor third-worlders back to working in rice paddies, knee-high in mosquito infested water, and they'll likely die malaria, melanoma, or exhaustion.
Anyway you slice it, working in a factory sewing a thousand seams on a thousand dresses a day, for comparatively great pay, is far better than subsistence farming for virtually 0 profit.
Ignoring the fact that farming isn't even an option. It's sweatshop or starve to death.
That's cool though. We set people up with a predetermined choice between death and hell, and then say, "omg, look, hell is sooo much better than dying!! We're doing them a favor!!!"
In third world countries, people don't farm for profit, they farm to feed themselves. It's called subsistence farming. I mentioned it in my post, but you were too hasty in your zeal to apparently even read my post. Next time, you should try reading something before attempting to rebut it.
Subsistence farming is not an alternative to working in a sweatshop, it is several levels below it. It is slave labor for the capacity to simply SUSTAIN yourself, it doesn't provide a livable wage, because there isn't a wage to be had. You eat the food you farm, so you and your family can get up the next day to farm rice in a rice paddy, knee-high in mosquito infested water, with the sun beating down on your back.
Getting rid of sweatshops would damn hundreds of millions of third world pilgrims back to subsistence farming. For all the bad press sweatshops get, even Marxist Dalai Lama says Capitalism has brought millions (billions between China + India since the 90's) out of abject poverty.
