No, I think that last bit is equating capitalism with unrewarded labor of
poor people who don't get to participate in the capitalism they're driving.
Child labor, "sweatshop" labor, etc. Of course, in a lot of cases,
"sweatshop" labor is better than the current alternatives in that place.
It's just a question of whether there would be better alternatives if the
sweatshop type factories weren't there at all.
It just happens that Africa has (and always had) a lot of slavery-type stuff
going on, regardless of economic system being used. It's not racist per se,
but just a fact that most of the economies where this abusive-type labor is
prevalent are of a different "race" than the economies that benefit (whether
it be in china, africa, or whatever).
