Synopsis
Excerpt from The Slavery to Which the Present Social System Reduces All Classes
To obtain this highly productive, self-running slavery, the master would pay a very great price, and certainly, in exchange for it, would be eager to part with that authority over the body of his slave which is only empty and irk some. If there is some satisfaction to pride in being able to order another mortal to go here and there, it is also a sore drain on the master's own freedom to see that the other does as he is ordered.
There were heavy, and it proved, fatal objections to the slavery of bodily ownership. There was the necessity of supporting the personal chattel. If he died from neglect it was the owner's loss, and when there was not work to keep him profitably busy he lived at the owner's cost. There was the necessity of mingling with the slaves, who were kept about one like the other stock, and contact on these terms was always degrading and debauching to the class or race that had supremacy. It was a school for brutality and arrogance and for physical. Vice. Whatever inferiorities the slaves had would impress their owners, if the children of the latter were reared and tended by slaves. Mere proximity to a really inferior order damages the rest. Moreover, just as a farmer is very much the slave of his horses and cows, if he owned men he would be their slave in the same way; so that bodily slavery makes the master a slave also.

Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book presents a detailed analysis of the various forms of slavery that exist in our society. The author argues that, contrary to popular belief, slavery did not end with the abolition of chattel slavery in the 19th century. Rather, it has evolved into a more insidious and pervasive form that affects all classes of people. The author explores the historical roots of slavery and traces its development from the earliest forms of human bondage to the present day. They examine the different ways in which slavery manifests itself in modern society, from the exploitation of wage laborers to the oppression of women and people of color. The author concludes by arguing that true freedom can only be achieved through the abolition of all forms of slavery and the creation of a more just and equitable society.
