Is it voluntary when the other option is starvation?
Libertarians seem to dodge this one a lot.
when and where is the only other option starvation? is that typical of employees?
are you talking about some isolated case in a third world country or a fact of life that people will starve if they dont find some way to acquire food?
Does someone offering a starving person a job actually mean they are somehow stealing from them?
Are you suggesting all actions by someone who requires food are not voluntary, or only when they are choosing where (or if) they want to work?

It is when it's the only system available, and part of my productivity is siphoned away from me against my will as the only option to make a living.
I'm forced to participate in the capitalist system the same way you are forced to participate in a government system that taxes.
You dont have to work for someone else.
Part of your productivity is siphoned by government.
Your production is often
amplified by an employer arrangement and they are the source of your wages.
You are free to try to find or create an arrangement where your productivity isn't siphoned in your imagination.
Private persons own property and engage in voluntary arrangements = forcing you to participate?

For other people that is not a reality and lolbertarians spouting off "You choose to work for the slave owner" is pure bullshit, because work or die is not a choice.
If cambo got his way slavery would be a reality again and he would be one of the slaves, for certain.
Everytime robber barrons and corporations have rivalled a state in power they have taken advantage of the situation, this is not some delusional theory about how things would go, its based on the history of every time this has happened.
Name ONE example of a corporation or individual who could not be reigned in by a state working for good in his community, i can name dozens who took advantage.
I dont know what your mental defect is, but libertarianism is diametrically opposed to slavery, yet you accuse me of wanting slavery.
Its sad that this has to be said: Employers aren't slave owners.
Wanting smaller government and freedom of association is not akin to wanting corporations to control everyone or wanting slavery or denying people do bad things sometimes or opposing punishing bad actors.
I dont know how many times you have been told this but you fail to adjust your thinking and false statements, instead choosing to repeat completely idiotic claims about what i believe.
