Voluntary Slavery

RickySpeed · February 27, 2021, 8:35pm

Fellow liberty lovers,

I’m curious what your thoughts are on this highly controversial topic of
voluntary slavery. Yes, voluntary slavery. Someone chooses of their own
free will to become someone else’s slave, for any number of reasons outside
of coercion. Should that be allowed in a free society (regardless of
whether there is a gov)? Is that even a ridiculous question to ask? Fire
away!

This Wikipedia article might get the mental gears turning:

Libertarian writers on this topic include Murray Rothbard, Walter Block,
Hans Herman Hoppe, Stephan Kinsella, Thomas L Knapp, and many others. I
look forward to the discussion.

Best,
Richard

Voluntary slaveryhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voluntary_slavery

Voluntary slavery, in theory, is the condition of slavery entered into at a point of voluntary consent. It is distinguished from involuntary slavery where an individual is forced to a period of servitude usually as punishment for a crime. In practice, however, the term is often a euphemism used to hide conditions of slavery which are, in fact, less than completely voluntary. Some believe that in ancient times, this was a common way for impoverished people to provide subsistence for themselves or…

I support voluntary slavery. I’m a voluntaryist.

I do not know a cogent argument against it.

We still “allow” hundreds of thousands folks to volunteer for the #USgovt military under which they sacrifice their God-given dignity, right to life, free choice, sanity, & are required to literally WORSHIP the #USgovt/state & a multicolored piece of tissue over respecting their own lives, the lives of others & even their own family members, & bow down to orders which many full well realize are criminally fraudulent LIES. Many #USgovt AA slaves at least had the presence of mind & dignity to seek & succeeded in escaping to their freedom even though it meant they would become felonious criminals under #USgovt law. Most active & retired #USgovt soldiers still today, 2021, act as if the #USgovt military is their GOD, à la some bloody cult & pretend that a discharge by some often cowardly pompous megalomaniac sociopaths is tantamount to hell on Earth or the unthinkable; most AA slaves at least wanted & dreamed of being free.
