You have a fundamental misunderstanding of what labor is, especially in regards to this picture. A) this is an american picture, it’s therefore unique to America. B) the child is laboring for someone’s profit. This is, sure, part of feudalism, but the system under which the picture is taken is capitalism.
Do you also think the kid is pushing out a baby because they are “laboring”?
"Domestic labour" is a term that refutes the point you're trying to make. Labour just means effort, there's no implicit connection to profit. In fact women's labour has traditionally been unpaid forever, but it's still work.
Sigh. Capitalist labor is different than domestic labor than birth labor etc.
Do you also think buffalos have wings?
Stop being a thick ass.
Woah no need to bring the cheeks into it
