I wouldn't exactly call it slavery, but it's indentured servitude at the societal level. There's no company forcing anyone to work for them, and society technically doesn't force you to work, but if you want to be a part of society you're almost certainly going to be doing something you don't like from 9 to 5 and commuting for 2 hours. You can stay on the plantation and have your basic needs met if you willingly serve the system. I'm not making a value judgment by pointing this out, but that's the way it is.
