Primark, Child Labour & Marxism

British fashion-retailer Primark has dropped three of its Indian suppliers. These suppliers were purchasing fashion products from south-Indian companies that used child-labour.
Primark's move needs to be analyzed carefully. We should not blindly support every campaign against child-labour. Many a times, the babble regarding child-labour is aimed at eliminating competition for privileged working class that includes both -- Communist workers & Bolshevik workers. Irony is : Consumer credit will not increase unless & untill consumers endorse exorbitantly high wage-standards of privileged working class !
Immediate consequence of Primark's move will be the increase in cost of Primark products. To counter this, Primark will find out other suppliers who won't TELL Primark that child-labour is involved anywhere in the process. Instead of resorting to hypocrisy like this, western consumers should show courage to speak against privileged working class. But privileged consumers will never take a stand against privileged working class.
"Creating Privileged Consumer Class" is the sole aim of Marxism !
