In ancient times you could buy your freedom as a slave could you not?
and logically under capitalism those who are unlucky and arent born privelaged have to be slaves
Only if your owner allowed it
Manumission was completely up to the whim of the owner
Correct but I mean in general
You could offer to pay your owner 10 times what he paid for you and he could refuse
that's called slavery
obviously there was a price then but now its more basic
and better
thats not called slavery
I don't understand how your a slave.
That's called being way too abstract in your concepts
slavery is ownership of another person
How's that abstract?
What human past or present has not been a slave under your definition?
I thought my terms were too loose?
Abstract and loose mean similar things
Most people are slaves.
who isn't?
I never said they werent
The rich arent
Why the hell would we use your definition of slave then?
Mr.E
because its the traditional definition
They have to spend some of their time making sure they stay rich
it's not the traditional definition
It is
it's not the current definition
its a bit of both to be honest
and it sure as hell is not the definition people on this server use
mostly traditional
It's a bit of neither
just more humanitarian and better
And yes, obviously staying rich can be hard, especially with taxes
You twist language like it's nothing
I dont care what people on this server use.
So the rich are slaves because they also have to work
that's why you're an autist
Im not concerned with the group or ideology, Im more concerned with the invidual.
Enough flattery, I get it, autistic people are smart, move on.
