The former is legally entitled to leave, but doesn't. The latter is not legally entitled to leave. In reality, they're both shackled to a situation that robs them of their freedom.
The modern slave is that much more pathetic given that his freedom is an "I quit" away. |
You know I hate to get all serious on a personal development forum, but there are modern slaves in parts of Africa, the Middle East, and Asia who'd probably love to be a "modern wage slave".
I hate to point out the hard cold reality of the world, because bouncing around theoretical notions of the meaning of slavery is much more fun.
