No, it is not "literally" slavery. It would be nothing like slavery as practiced in the United States. Slaves were property; traded like cattle, killed / lynched without justice, desecrated - left hanging on tress, burned in public. In fact they were not even allowed to serve in the military.
- AnaniasAnanas 8y agoThese are not properties necessary for something to be called slavery. In Sparta for example slaves were public property rather than private property and could not be traded, in addition to that they were forced to serve in the front lines of the military. > lynched without justice While probably not lynched I do not think that you will have a lot of justice if your superior is pissed with you in the military.
- aaomidi 8y agoYeah your superior can really ruin your life if you're not "obedient"
- aaomidi 8y agoRight because slavery that existed in the United States is the only true definition for slavery? You're forcing people to do work. What happens if someone says they don't want to do this civic service?
