Empathy. That's what you're missing, you sociopath
>>973998
The Free market requires the freedom of employees to quit. Slavery =/= Free market

slaves come with relatively expensive initial capital expenditure - there is also a need to provide food and housing. In addition you need to employ supervision 24/7.
Granted the breeding aspect can help offset some of the capital expenditure - but the food/housing aspect is still a cost.
assuming you're not some person who merely wants to torture people for kicks etc.. I don't see how employing people on min wage is too different - instead of providing them directly with food/housing you provide them with cash that barely covers the cost of food/housing - same end result, you've got someone to do stuff for you for minimal expenditure

slaves aren't employees, they're more like equipment or livestock - the fact robots exist in manufacturing for example doesn't prevent the existence of a free market - nor would a class of second class humans prevent there from being a free market for the first class humans
>>973998
if everyone did this there would be nobody left who could afford whatever your slaves produced as they'd all be unemployed. work out the rest

That's exactly why I want a cute sex slave tho
It's immoral, OP.
>>973998
we already had a thread like this but it wasn't shitpostng like OP.
In the end we concluded that actually useful and plausible slavery wasn't exactly free and carried its own disadvantges.
You are - wageslaves are more cost efficient.
>no need to pay any wages
Sick investment, training and supervision costs.
>no need to pay sick leave or maternity leave
You lose the investment, productivity and gotta pay maintenance.
>if a slave dies due to overwork, can just breed another 10 of them like rabbits
Wrong, it is expensive to grow proficient slaves.
>zero costs = maximize profits + increase in shareholder value
Costs are huge.
>stays true to free market principles
Free market abhors coercion.

You're everywhere, fucking hell

>If my superior moral character allows me to enslave you, then you deserve it because of your own inferiority, retard.
>>973998
Because it turns out that without expensive legal support, slavery isn't very effective. If that wasn't true it would still be legal.

Prostitutes are literally just sex workers, not your slaves.
And mail order brides have the law or whatever on their side, and won't hesitate to fuck you over when they find out they'll be living the opposite of the life they expected when they got here

No one wants to be a slave.
Yeah having slaves would be cool af, but no one wants to live with the possibility of becoming slaves themselves.
