SEriously, what a fucking hyperbole.

But let's work with your definition of slavery. So because in socialism everyone is 'a slave' to everyone else, it is better that billions are 'slaves' in much, much shittier conditions so that a handful in the whole world aren't 'slaves' to anyone, in a society of the type of 1984 where this obsession with hierarchy (the handful of free capitalists being better than the billions of working slaves) comes with the sacrifice of net material wealth?
