    Want to explain the options?

    It seems to me like slavery except you can request to work for a different master and you are required to maintain yourself instead of getting food and housing in exchange for labor.

    Your punishment for refusing to work is to die in the streets, compared to being beaten or sold off.

    I would say our current wage slavery system is equally as bad as indentured servitude, the illusion of choice is maintained.

      Having to work is not slavery, good god. That’s incredibly insulting to those who actually are slaves.

      instead of getting food and housing in exchange for labor.

      You do get food and housing in exchange for labor, it’s money.

      You have options to fight back and get higher wages, like unionization. You can choose where to work which is NOT an illusion of choice, it’s a real one.

      Your punishment for refusing to work

      There is no form of society that can function without people working.
