Remember that quitting your job without permission is grounds for GULAG!
Yep. And that’s the distinction I would make between wage slavery and actual slavery.
In wage slavery, you can quit your job. You might have to find a different job in order to survive, you might become impoverished or homeless if you don’t find a different job … but you are legally allowed to quit your job. Nobody will come beat you or throw you in prison if you try to quit your job.
In slavery (whether or not you’re being paid), you are not legally allowed to quit your job. You will face physical punishment for attempting to do so.
