Every time someone brings up wage slavery, there's some doofus who feels the urge to argue that it's unfair to chattel slavery.

"Experience demonstrates that there may be a slavery of wages only a little less galling and crushing in its effects than chattel slavery, and that this slavery of wages must go down with the other."

โ€” Frederick Douglass
