As I can see you decided to ignore the fact that "slaves to fiat" turn out to live longer and, on average, better than slaves (well, adherents) to "sound" money. Your question is meaningless since under slavery slave owners and slavers (i.e. sellers of slaves) are the primary beneficiaries...
So in your opinion it is OK to enslave--so long as the ends justify the means?In my opinion, ethics and philosophy should influence the political structure which will dictate the nature of the economy. I believe in natural rights, so my opinion is that slavery is immoral and the present slavery system cannot be justified. What do you have to say about that?
Lol, you are talking as if you were the Collector and I were going to sell my soul to Satan. When in fact you are pretty much talking bullshit. In Ancient times there had been
real bloody slavery (I don't think the Medieval times were a lot different in this aspect), and, ironically, quite under the "sound" money system...
We are all slaves to our own nature, before all
I think we are not slaves in our nature, it`s more like this system make us like that. It was like that before thousands of years and its like that now. Politic and faith is what deceive us all the time for sure. And as long we trust in this things and make idols from this kind of people (Obama, Putin, Bush... many, many more...) we will be in this economic slavery period. In that system for some people will be good, for many more will be not so good. I dont think we can rise our conscience in some near future.
