Slavery is a social system which is designed to destroy social capital. [1] If we apply such a system with the same function today, are slaves the employees? It goes to same to capitalists too, if the actions that beneficiaries of slavery did was done by capitalists.
Either in America or Rome, with propaganda they educated the freeman to not pity or feel sympathy for the slaves. For both country the majority of the shareholder’s primary interests were to destroy the unity inside slaves and peasants.
Then the question becomes this. The modern capitalists and employer destroys social unity, prevent solidarity, at times abuse or take advantage of those who are weak, and educate citizens to not feel sympathy towards others.
Therefore it becomes alarming to see the similarities between the slave system and the modern capitalist reign. But with such an unstable social trust structure, it becomes inevitable the system eats itself & collapse as a result.
From what I have experienced in America, it seems the path is leading into such ways.
