Because the only two possibilities are worker abuse or communism?

I'm not entirely sure what you're arguing. Are you saying it's ok to treat nonskilled workers badly because they have the opportunity to gain skills?

I think boycotting is pretty much the opposite of communism.

Also, Just because someone does not have in demand skills does not mean that they should be subjected to poor treatment.

Communism would be pretty good, yes.
