Slavery:

is 'depriving one self of the answers to the 5 Ws. Switching off the MIND - it might be externally enforced or internally incapability, which is a totally different discussion point.' - putting in its simplest possible way.


Need for Slavery:

Exploitation, Minimizing expenditure and maximizing Profitability - a Capitalistic thought.

Consequence of Slavery: No Progress, No Development, No Evolution - Essentially not serving the purpose of taking birth.

Slavery in the Past:
Slavery is always associated with depriving of . There are two types of slavery -

  1. Physical Slavery &
  2. Mental Slavery

Physical Slavery:

is about controlling, suppressing a physical individual, that is external, other than the imposer of slavery. This is achieved by external visible force and visible power. The activity of mind of the imposer is primarily works on - How to suppress and take complete control of that external thing - can be an animal, a human being, land, any sex or any sort of a physical external (to imposer) thing. 

The enslaved thing is deprived of freedom - freedom of thinking, expression, talking, all activities. It is enforced to follow. It is deprived of knowledge. It is deprived of evolution, development, understanding.

Okay, every body knows about this. Today, the world is calling it self as free from slavery. What exactly does that mean? Does it really mean it got rid of slavery in the absolute terms?

Argument Against:

The simplest argument against the claim that slavery is no more is: Are there no capitalists in the world? The is the strongest argument to say that: The world is still infested with Exploiters, Sadists and Capitalists who impose slavery.
The next question would: There are no kings, queens and we dont see any chained slaves pushing cranks and shafts to run an oil mill or a ship or a train. We dont see any whipping, beatings etc. Then how are Capitalists surviving and quenching their thirst of exploitation, slavery and business?

This is a valid and very important question and the very reason for writing this note on what is slavery.
