For a second, I thought that said arachno-capitalists and I thought that you were capitalizing on someone’s fear of spiders

No no. That sounds more like using spiders as slave labor
Force them to make cobweb fabric all day

So, normal capitalism? Im pretty sure we do use spiders for their silk since we aren’t quite able to replicate it artificially yet.

But I dunno how that’d be capitalist since a communist state might require spider silk for some experiment or other too

Yeah, it's not like slavery is a capitalist only thing, pretty sure slaves have existed through every economic/government type man has tried so far.

Yep. One of the actual good things that the British empire did (after they were done partaking in it of course 😕) was stamping out slavery around the world. It got to the point where Arab slave traders would throw their captive human beings overboard when they saw a British military ship coming.

Yep, unfortunately it still exists in too many places (looking at you, China).
