The New Wave Shackles

Among history the social-economic system of slavery can be found in almost all civilizations and continents.Since ancient societies untill modern Ages.

The Abolotionist movements , as the slavery system , has occured through the whole record of human history , and in some countries it was present untill Sec XVIII.

Nowadays , slavery , of course, is considered a crime , even though some kinds of contemporary ones works underground, like the Wage Slavery which occurs when a person is employed at a wage level which does not allow the worker an opportunity to leave their employer.

But the worst and wildest type of slavery, is the one u dont see the chains that are all over you.The current economical system ,called capitalism, is just some kind of “masked-slavery“.Instead of shackles, in capitalism , we are just wearing money on our wallets.At least, without the shackles the slave is free, but without the money , we are nothing.

The unique reason to end with slavery is connected in all possible ways to capitalism.Having slaves means that you have free workers, but , who is supposed to buy the products if slaves cant afford them ? That is the main reason for releasing the slaves. The necessity of the consumer.

Instead of the black man , now we have the worker who does not have the ownership of the means of production (just like the slaves ) and works only to earn money or a salary.So , with the money he can buy the products.And the owner of the means of production (The master in the slavery time ) stay with the profit.

The only difference between them is that Capitalism is an economical-social system based on the exploitation of the proletariat by the bourgeoisie ; and Slavery is an economical social system based on the exploitation of the slave by his master
