Let's put aside your definition of "slave labour", which extends to low-wage labour in places where there are few income-earning opportunities. 

Slavery is not permitted under free-market capitalism, since it violates the principle of individual freedom. If there are countries in which such abuses occur, then blame that country's laws, its institutions or its corruption, and hold the companies involved responsible. They are not representative of free-market capitalism any more than companies that commit fraud are representative of free-market capitalism.

Besides, your evidence is entirely anecdotal. It does not negate the fact that poverty rates are in rapid decline, especially in countries that embrace free markets, free trade, sound institutions and the rule of law. 

And if you think your socialist utopia will prevent illegal behaviour, then you are irredeemably naïve. On the contrary, it cannot exist without violating individual freedom.
