If I am forced to work long hours in difficult conditions, in order to earn enough to feed my children, is that not slavery?
This magic moral authority is called 'democracy'. You may have heard of it.
I have employed myself my entire life.
Give examples of who is "forcing" you. If you can.
Why can't you do as I have done?
Democracy and Socialism are antithetical.

Therefore some people are forced (co-reced) into working for someone else.
Democracy is a fundamental part of socialism. (Cue Stalin rant).

<edit> lol on the stalin. He's your guy. Not mine.
You have also hit upon the great mystery of communism.
How could such a wonderful idea go so horribly wrong when implemented.
The reason is that people build up hate and anger because they are "victims". When they get "in charge"... they kill. That seems totally rational to them. Their whole existence is built on hate. Of those who "made them slaves".
Even though they just lacked confidence to start a new life. Go figure.
