You're using the word "slavery" rhetorically, more or less, but in the eyes of a Sociopathic Oligarch, we are already living on literal slave wages. They couldn't imagine living on the average annual income in this country, but they expect us to, and work harder on top of it.
They would pay us nothing, like the olden days, but then they'd have to cover our food and housing, and that would cost them more. So they pay us just barely enough to keep us from revolting.
We are already slaves.
No I'm not.
I mean we literally force people like this into irons and force them to work under threat of corporal punishment.
There's what, maybe 10, 20,000 people like this the world over?
It would be a one time thing. If they managed to have kids before they died from exhaustion or the unforeseen results of pharmaceutical experiments their children would be given good homes and loving adoptive parents, so we didn't risk reviving the institution of slavery. It would be a one time thing. Justice.
