Appeal to time period. Check.
Because people of the present no longer consume food or use factories. Oh wait. I suppose this could be used to apply to just about anything; Fascism works just great, it just happened to be occurring before its time in the 1940s! etc
Hey, if you want some measure of proof, look at China now compared to China thirty or forty years ago.
Appeal to absurdity.
"The world is not flat? How absurd! I reject your preposterous claims!"
Appeal to irrelevance.
Yeah, those ACTUAL WORKERS wouldn't know anything about their own lives, would they? It isn't as if they matter at all.
Glad to clarify that.
I hacked past your issues and produced a model far superior to sweatshops.
Yeah, and I am Zorax, Emperor of Delaxia and ruler of half of the known universe.
The reality of the matter is that the sweatshops are necessary - 100% necessary. The only reason we don't have them here anymore is because we outsourced them due to things like evironmental and safety regulations and unions driving up the price of labor (not some magical capitalism fairy). The third-world doesn't have anywhere else to outsource them to, so they're stuck with it forever.
How did environmental/safety regulations and unions have the power to do anything, though? What reason would ANY factory have to open with a population of people unwilling to work at correct market prices? Also, why did those countries gain their middle class before such things existed?Why do I even bother?

Kind of magical how it hasn't happened anywhere other than the first-world nations, huh? Can you cite me some examples of third-world nations that have pulled themselves up economically via sweatshops and wage slave labor?
Chile, China, India, Germany, the USA, the UK, Brazil
