These things would be prevalent under any system of governance or any model of economics. I can't deny those things exist; they certainly do. But those things also exist in Western society as well.

Hypothetically speaking, would these same people in factories be better off or worse off if these jobs didn't exist for them? I think it's only a matter of time before standards improve; a good model to look at is the Asian Tiger countries who are on the verge of first-world status, but whom also had to have these jobs exist before sanctions, rules, and employment standards developed.
