If you disagree please tell me what the slave trade resulted from and why my post is wrong. Then give the definition of capitalism and how the two (capitalism and slave trade) are unrelated.
How might you explain the extensive use of slaves in the Gulags of Russia? Given it was essentially a totalitarian/socialistic and eventually a communistic regime, that is the anti-thesis of capitalism.
