Well, you ignored my next statement, "Because those with power used it to exploit those without". Kind of a difference. Exploitation happens in many ways, and not just forcible slavery. If your skills are valuable, either someone is going to pay for them, or they are going to steal them; it only depends which method is more expeditious.
I don't understand what that statement contributes. We all agree that slavery was properly condemned, it hardly matters why.If your skills are valuable, either someone is going to pay for them,
and everybody benefits,or they are going to steal them
and we call it theft, and it is coercive and wrong by definition.
