      You generally don’t get paid for being a slave, nor recover your freedom after the crisis has passed.

        Recover your freedom? So you’re not free and are forced to work? Sounds like textbook slavery, to me. Indentured servitude is still slavery

          You are forced to go to school, you are forced to work to earn your life. Are those slavery too?

              They are all restricting your freedom because there’s a consensus that it helps the group in general.
