Satoshi's vision doesn't matter, the paper matters.

But, the paper describes Satoshi's vision. You can't deny that what we're working on is someone's vision since the paper was written by them.

Why do you give so much emphasis to the whitepaper? The whitepaper also contains false definitions such as “the longest chain” instead of “the chain with the most work”.

No, it is the exact, direct definition of slavery, as miners have no choice other than working for pools, and they have no say on what this work looks like, alienated and powerless, it is slavery.

I guess you wanted to mean it metaphorically. Even that way, it's wrong stating it. They aren't forced to work anywhere. They're free to choose another pool or create one themselves if they feel they have to. The pool owner isn't an oppressor. He can't threaten miners. The opposite; the miners can damage him by choosing to not work on his pool.

They couldn't do anything apart from perform a one time 51% attack.

Wouldn't the miners realize it before it happens? They receive block headers and could understand if they're working on a block that was mined before.
