Many think that progress has been made. After all, there is little old-style slavery these days.
This is not so; slavery has merely assumed another form. We now have slaves with a cell phone, TV, iPad, and house. But their functions are not much different than in millennia prior. They work to live. They have a little more mobility, true. They can tell their boss to shove it, true. But mostly, their next job is isomorphic to their previous one. They live in the service of others.
Example: In education, we have slaves (teachers) leading new slaves (students) into the bondage of slavery (a job).
Socialism merely changes just who are the "others." Indeed, just about any "-ism" amounts to a similar redefinition. The only difference is which class becomes the out-caste.
