>>You know my old saying, "Slavery was never abolished, it was only extended to include all the colors."
Some people balk at the idea of "wage slavery," primarily because they think it is so different from the traditional slavery that it should not be called that.
But the question is, if you are doing something and the alternative is starvation and death, are you really a free human being? If you think about it for a while, the answer becomes clear: you are not free. Sure, you have the freedom to switch from one slave-owner to another, but at no point in the process do you have real freedom.
