Marx and Lenin would be horrified!:
Consider the quote and link below regarding the Communist government of Vietnam. Supposedly, Communism exists to stop exploitation. Nike has about 43,000 workers in Vietnam. International groups accuse Nike of unsafe working conditions there.

"Government advisers speak openly of their desire to attract foreign capitalists to exploit the local workforce, a process that could be speeded up this year, if Vietnam succeeds in its bid to join the World Trade Organisation. "WTO accession is an imperative," says Le Dang Doanh, an economist. "It's the only way to continue high growth. Foreign investors want to use Vietnam as an export base because of its cheap, skilled labour."
