This story highlights just how blurry and complex things can get.
Maybe to a lesser extent we are all slaves of the system because we have to work increasingly long hours for an ever decreasing wage.
I think that the most kind-hearted and generous people tend to slowly slip into slavery over time because the system tends to reward greedy, selfish people.
The sudden, massive collapse of the system will come when there won't be enough altruistic, productive people left to support all the greedy, non-productive ones which are currently winning the game of natural selection.
