Is an unpaid internship slavery? I know those have their own issues, since they typically benefit the kids of wealthy families who can support them when they aren’t being paid; but leaving that aside, do you consider it slavery to give someone the choice to work without monetary compensation in exchange for a path to long-term professional employment in the future?
The slavery part is that they’re not paid. Ironically you’re making all the same arguments slavers did for not abolishing slavery
They also argued conditions weren’t that bad for slaves, and therefore it should be allowed
The difference here is that they volunteer, presumably
