Nope sorry. Capitalism is defined by voluntary cooperation. Slavery’s not capitalism.

You should tell capitalists, it seems like they didn't get the memo.

An innocent person who commits a crime is no longer an innocent person.

A vegetarian who starts eating meat is no longer a vegetarian.

A capitalist who enslaves someone is no longer a capitalist.

I’m so sorry you have trouble with this basic definition, but capitalism is a free market system. Slaves are not free, and that economic relationship is not a free market relationship.
