    pass on the message that “slavery was so beneficial that this time white people should be enslaved” and watch the whole thing die out.

      They’re already on the way to doing that. The slow striping of worker’s rights won’t have a natural end until everyone but the elites are serfs.

        I can’t stop working. Even if my retirement accounts continue to exist for the three more decades it will take me to begin drawing from them, I have no way to know and absolutely no trust that they quantity of money will be sufficient to support me.

        The bank can take pretty much anything I own if I lose my job and fall behind, which severely curtails my ability to do anything except exactly what I’m told at work.

        What’s the major difference between this and serfdom, except that my current lords don’t even have to supply me with food and shelter directly?
