You are correct, it's not fair to compare outright slavery with citizenship. On a scale of 1 to 100 on the freedom scale, slave = 1, citizen = 2, so twice as good to be a citizen.. It's a very good trick, to give slaves a much larger area to roam, and call the plantation a nation. Look at how much better cows feel when you let them out of a cage and limit them to an acre.

So it's unfair to compare to slavery, and then you immediately compare to slavery again.
No, you're right. You're totally a slave. A man whips you and forces you to work, chooses what work you do, and fucks your wife every day then beats you up again for some fun. "The man" forces you to live in a tiny hut too, right? Oh but I guess you admit the hut he forces you to live in is a little larger now.
What? You choose where you live? You chose what to do for a living? No one whips you or fucks your wife? Wow, it's almost like you're totally not a slave.
