Sooo … the solution to children workers is … communism?
I don’t think you know what the words “nationalize” or “communism” mean.
Seize the means of production! Power to the people!
Capitalism demands profits, which demand mistreatment, which results in this.
But keep banging your drum, guy. You’re the reason nothing changes.

Abolition of child labor is one of the traditional demands of the American communist movement. Children should be taught a broad base education and be given time to play and rest and parents shouldn’t feel financial pressure to make their child work
Nothing wrong with a bit of communism. You know unless you like your politics dog whistle simple, in which case i guess you do you.
That’s capitalism. The business is given to its workers, not the state
