Of course I knew who it was even before I clicked on the link.

There's an important distinction being erased here. It is not oppressive for a child to do chores for her family or community. It is absolutely oppressive for a child to be sent to a factory to make some wealthy capitalist rich.

(I'm not anti-capitalist by any stretch, but I do know the difference between working for your family and working for somebody who doesn't give a flying fuck about you or your family.)
