The typical critique of slavery is that it renders man into machine, that the enslaved subject becomes an object; The typical problem with critiques of "objectification", is that the solution typically creates a worse objectification. Such is the case with the slave/Master relationship, a relationship where both parties have an objective goal. By taking away the chains of the slave, you are robbing him of that clarity, of that cosmic resonance, thus rendering him in an animalistic environment.
The modern economy is seen as a series of distractions where the typical person is searching for some illusion of tyranny. Schools initially act strict and unforgiving, up until the students start waking up to their own freedom, then classes start to become more lazy, more unproductive, and more meaningless. Adolescents is growing longer and longer with the rise in high school, college, and even graduate school, as it's becoming more and more obvious that people are just occupying their time with busywork. It's becoming clear that their life is simply a long/short wait until their inevitable demise.
There's no surprise that those affected most will either support the most semi-oppresive regimes out there (The democrats), or they'll willfully envision an illusion of a tyrannical movement such as the NWO. Corruption lies everywhere in this world, perhaps more than ever, but because we've been freed from our bondage we've grown indifferent/supportive of it. The Masters have it pretty bad too, they're the ones trying to cater to us for their support; institutions that we used to serve, now exist to serve us. This is typically called "The Enlightenment" however as an idea, it's far from being enlightening. You might think that our freedom causes us to shun their seductions into oblivion, however institutions such as marriage, and religion, government, and even The State continue to exist perhaps stronger than ever, despite being half of their former glory.
