    The end result of capitalism is slavery. The end result of anarchy is also slavery. The end result of socialism is… yup, also slavery. Basically humanity seems to enjoy slavery:-). :-(

    Knowing this, it might have been good to have tried to work against that trend. However, we got too lazy, and/or greedy, and if you don’t fight against entropy then the natural state takes over.

    Case in point: our level of technological progress is higher than it has ever been. We could feed the world. We won’t, but we could. And yet, food prices reflect… more similarity to slavery than to freedom of choice - what other food can I buy except the stuff that is twice as expensive as it was?

      I can understand capitalism resulting in slavery, because it wants to minimize labor costs, so slavery is the logical conclusion (also, slavery is still used by capitalists). I don’t see anarchy resulting in slavery, because slavery is inherently hierarchical. I also don’t see socialism resulting in slavery because the workers own their means of production/businesses/workplaces.
