if people end up as slaves (e.g. from unpaid debt, criminal or poor
parents, or just choosing the wrong skin colour at birth), it's their
own fault. like poverty, it's a moral failing and they have only
themselves to blame that they weren't able to make it in the real world.
they had the same opportunity to compete as everyone else.

Eigentumsrechte uber alles.
