Reminder that slavery is still legal in the US, if theworker is incarcerated.
They are not called workers, then.
They are called slaves, then.
Workers are part of the proletariat.
Slaves are part of the slave class which in the US is reflected in the carceral state as you have pointed out.
But call them slaves as that is what they are. We have taken their identity. And we have taken their rights. And we sell them into work. We do no favors calling prisoners anything but slaves because they have been erased institutionally.
Slaves, peasants, and proletarians are different working classes.
I really like this infographic on this topic: Incarceration in Real Numbers.
Side note: is there a good abolitionist Lemmy community around somewhere?

China is a dictatorship of the proletariat, incarceration rates need to be understood by the class in control of the state.
What is your point? that China is more free than known fascist state Portugal and the UK?
“in founding nato countries”
Used to be that China was on par in that regard say… 10? 15 years ago? I remember seeing a comparison, it was more neck at neck, but I think they reduced it and the US massively increased it, so it’s high but not US high.
Similarly something about military spending; same US ballooning in the past few decades.
No, China never had large incarceration rate compared to the us.
