    I’m not saying they are literally exactly the same and I don’t know how to make this any more clear. Both classes are exploited for their labor in the pursuit of profit, and both are coerced into participating in the system by punishment of death. They have similarities, but I am not saying they are exactly the same. Chattel slavery is several orders of magnitude worse than wage slavery - but they can both be measured on the same metaphorical magnitude scale.
