This is a ridiculous statement. Market economics has nothing to say about human rights. There can be, and WAS HERE, a sterling "free market" in SLAVES. Slaves were just property, like a horse. The people running and participating in the free market were the buyers and sellers, all anyone NEEDS for a "free market" in anything.

To remind you about the context of the conversation before you went off into the ridiculous argument about the free market in slaves, You stated this:
"Ten, corporations would be using slaves instead of employees if the "free market" was the only law."

Your assertion was that corporations in a free market economy would use slaves. I pointed out repeatedly that market that uses force and or theft, of which, slavery is both, is by definition NOT a free market.

You're an idiot.

I recommend that you check in with other liberals on the thread to get a sanity check. If they are honest with you, they will tell you that you have gone off the deep end and that you are probably better off just dropping the whole conversation.
