It's only a fundamental reality of the human condition if you're not born into wealth. So, not really fundamental at all. A fundamental component of slavery is there being a master. You're sort of ignoring that wage-slaves are in fact, creating wealth for someone else.
- Nasrudith 6y agoAnd how did their parents get their wealth by means fair or foul? No matter how many generations back of inheritance it still comes back to the same root cause. The "exception of born into wealth" sounds a lot like the ancient Greek nonsense of philsophers and aristocrats justifying slavery ironically. While they themselves were willfully ignorant of actual means of wealth generation and thought it had to be stolen by conquest and holding traders in contempt. And this sickness was modeled into the Antebellum US South combined with the projection of accusing the North of wanting to enslave everyone.
