Well JPM there several ways to make of someone a slave and for sure there are several ways of slavery. The moment a man take a job in order to live, he is on the pass to become a slave.
Someone that I dont recall now, wrote that there is no king without slave and no slave without a king and we have a lot of modern kings so we must have a lot of slaves also. You see my friend one and the other are connected on an ethernal dance, if we had no slaves we had no kings.
But I am not the first to have this vision of society, long before I had all those strange ideas, I could noticed that many men along history had. In one way or another, they had the same vision of world full of slaves and masters as I did.
The whole commerce between master and slave is a perpetual exercise of the most boisterous passions, the most unremitting despotism on the one part, and degrading submissions on the other. Our children see this, and learn to imitate it.
Thomas Jefferson
I didn't know I was a slave until I found out I couldn't do the things I wanted.
Frederick Douglass
If you are living out of a sense of obligation you are slave.
Wayne Dyer
The slave is doomed to worship time and fate and death, because they are greater than anything he finds in himself, and because all his thoughts are of things which they devour.
Bertrand Russell
Freedom in capitalist society always remains about the same as it was in ancient Greek republics: Freedom for slave owners.
Vladimir Lenin
Be not a slave of words.
Thomas Carlyle
This last quote is more about the present or near past, first was the church legitimating Kings and then they become lawyers and the words are a way for every free man to become a slave, justifying the huge fortunes made on the shoulder of slaves but I agree with you, it is the slaves fault because they choose to be slaves or maybe they are not human as the church said not so long ago.
It is a very vast ideal that one that lead to the formation of the American countries but in the middle of it the poison of slavery in all is forms and it is not easy to explain on a more profound way for that we will have to write a book and I dont think I have time for that anymore.
At last dead will set me free.

Disobedience is the true foundation of liberty. The obedient must be slaves.
