What about not enslaving people?

And of course people in weaker economies get paid less, they also need less since everything is cheaper.

This process is intentionally perpetuated by "stronger economies," aka Imperialist countries.

If you don't enslave people, you'll need communism for high living standards

Edit: What if your slaves want more pay? Will you give them more pay so they get the same as in your country, or will you threaten to kill them if they stop working for you?

If they were slaves they wouldn't have to get any pay.

Paying them the same as in my country would be worth much more there. Anyway, might as well produce locally and have less shipping costs when they'd demand the same anyway.

And another factor for outsourcing work is simply that noons wants to do that work here. How does communism solve that? By forcing people to do it anyway?
