Control is secondary to ownership concepts. I can have a level of control over children, an employee, etc. None are slaves.
Ownership is all about control.
People who aren't in real estate typically don't understand this.
Ownership is a "bundle of rights"....the more control (ie, rights)
one has over a thing, the greater the level of ownership.
Consider the land contract, aka, contract for deed. This is a
financing method wherein the seller retains title until the loan
is paid in full. But the buyer is considered the owner (having
"equitable title") because of the level of control over the property.
The level of control over the conscripted soldier functions
as ownership for the duration of conscription. So it's quite
reasonable to view it is slavery.
Very little. Many are on public assistance.
And that is today. Back during the Vietnam
War, drafted soldiers got lower pay.
Soldiers can refuse orders.
Theoretically.
But refusing the draft is a felony, with severe sanctions.
Untrue.
Are you old enuf to have been subject to the draft?
I was, & remember it very differently.
Slavery require the individual to be force to do X or face any/all consequences as property not as a person.
And that happened.
