Or future generations will look at ours as we look at the British who exploited India, or the Europeans who exploited the Americas, or the merchants of the triangular trade, or any of the other thousands of episodes of mass exploitation for profit. Fingers crossed for that and not a fascist uprising.

This is laughably absurd. The last few decades have seen a massive reduction in poverty in China. China has had a huge trade surplus with the US for decades, and probably the rest of the world too. How on earth is that exploitation?

It is laughably absurd.
Despite this, someone in the future will write their dissertation on this topic in the affirmative. They will be considered one of the great visionaries of their time in certain circles, despite being totally wrong.

They'd be totally wrong if you are an entrepreneur and they'd be totally right if you're a lower class worker. Doubt you'd find a synthesis there.

Yes, of course. They will rest their argument on the asinine and unfalsifiable "lived experience" canard.
We can only hope that smarter humans will win the day.
