OK, but also to say that the country was ‘built’ is kind of a false premise, that feeds into the whole capitalist fairy tale.

Its not even a thing, its like saying Disney built star wars.

I don’t even understand the argument they’re making lol.
Slaves?
Workers, irrespective of whether they were compensated by the owner class.
