Slavery didnt abolished.
It just changed its shape.
Slaves arent paid. They are given food just not to die.
But modern slaves are paid. That money is only enough to buy basic things: that is, food...
A car or your own home would be luxury in this times for most of the population.
So, people dont rebel not to lose their job and the system works like the superior mind wants.

Your like a servant not a slave.

Slaves can't quit their jobs, get an education, move from place to place.

It doesnt make a difference.
Tell me what the difference is...

Have you heard the idiom "non serviam"? It means "i dont or wont serve"... That is: i wont bow my head; i wont be your slave...

Ok. Try to get a day off your work and the second day you are sacked right? Lets say even if u r sick and tired...and you only have at most a month time vacation in public sector. In private sector u cannot move anywhere if u dunt wannt lose ur job.

Education? Only private colleges offer quality education. Public education is just to be another brick on the wall of the empire

Debt slavery started in Babylon.  They didn't have cash money, just requisition chits to get grain etc from the temple store houses.  People didn't have wage slavery, because they weren't paid wages until the Industrial Revolution.  Since then we added wage slavery.  And old chattel slavery still exists ...

QuoteUpdate: In 2012 the (UNODC) United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime reports the percentage of child victims had risen in a 3 year span from 20 per cent to 27 per cent. Of every three child victims, two are girls and one is a boy.

Gender and age profile of victims detected globally: 59% Women - 14% Men - 17% Girls and 10% were Boys.

600,000 to 800,000 women, children and men bought and sold across international borders every year and exploited for forced labor or commercial sex (U.S. Government)
When internal trafficking victims are added to the estimates, the number of victims annually is in the range of 2 to 4 million
50% of those victims are estimated to be children
It is estimated that 76 percent of transactions for sex with underage girls start on the Internet
2 million children are subjected to prostitution in the global commercial sex trade (UNICEF)
There are 20.9 Million victims of Trafficking World wide as of 2012
1.5 Million victims in the United States

Of course in totalitarian societies, the whole population are slaves.

The word is identical in Latin.  Servus = slave.

Yep all these folks, mostly children have the good life, as pool boys and young maids at the Bill Gates mansion ... servants indeed!

So the worst punishment is losing your job? Wow, that's comparable to beatings and whippings and being put in chains.

And many work places offer training

This is interesting. In Hungarian "servus" is a greeting.

szervusz (Hungarian phonetic spelling).

Hungarians were different, Slav means slave ;-)
