It's called capitalism because it's the only system where they can't get away with it.

How so? They've been offshoring and automizing everything they can and this will only increase. Yes there's still a high demand for workers but it doesn't mean they're not trying to eliminate us slowly but surely. Us techies still have a few good years left but we're in no way immune to what's coming.

Well, no. You can have capitalist economies supported by slave labour. Capitalism on its own does not guarantee individuals freedom.

That is not the definition of capitalism.
