All slavery is the same. Wage slavery is not some kind of progressive more comfortable kind of slavery. That's all just an illusion. Most people today have been totally brainwashed into thinking, slavery is gone or things are better than ever. You still have a master. And if the people with power over you feel like it, then instead of physically abusing you on a daily basis, they can abuse you in every other way on a daily basis or fire you which will result in a slow and horrible death on the streets for many people. And instead of being hunted down and brought back to your master and tortured IF you get caught after trying to escape such a horrible life, today, you really have nowhere to run to and you will die a slow horrible death on the streets unless you become a slave again. And when it comes to slavery, not all slaves are privileged enough to be treated well by their master... A lot of people today, have to work jobs just as horrible as the jobs that slaves had to work in the past because they can't just get a better job. They don't have the connections, the skills, the experience and/or there is some other kind of barrier etc... And I'm not talking about a shitty retail store jobs or a shitty fast food jobs. I'm talking about real hard labor. Back breaking work and in horrible fucking working conditions, that are also dangerous. Since the dawn of slavery, there has always been slaves that had it easier than the rest. And slaves who were set free after awhile. And slaves who lived very comfortably. It all depends on your master. You can say the same about the black slaves in 1800s USA. There were the slaves who had to work outside in the fields doing hard labor and slaves who got to do easy tasks inside the mansion of their master. A black house slave had it much easier than a white man forced to work in a 1800s coal mine every day so he could survive and feed his family... It's all the same shit. Slavery. Wage slavery. Jobs. When it comes to the powerful using other people, nothing has changed since human history except after a certain point in time, the ruling class, decided to let people choose their masters if they have that privilege because that results in more productive workers because this allows some people to do work, they enjoy. So fuck the 20th century and fuck the 21st century. And for most of human history, slaves were provided with food and shelter by their master for working one job. Nowadays, some people have to work 2 or 3 jobs just for food and shelter. And I don't see smartphones, the internet, TV shows, movies, better medicine and the modern stuff we have today, making the wage slavery any different. People since the beginning of human history had entertainment to distract them from life too. And better medicine just means a longer life as a slave. And unlike today, a lot of people were born free in the past even though they didn't come from royalty or nobility. And most of the slaves, were foreigners from other lands who didn't fight to the death or criminals.
