concur. typical commie thing to misuse words in an effort to make a point. Slavery, by definition, is not voluntary. Liberals hard at work mushing up their brains some more. - also, note the anti-educational attitude associated with choosing voluntary servitude.

If they want to take themselves out of the labor pool, and make themselves unemployable, fine. We have tens of millions who want good productive work.

Many slaves seek freedom. There may be some cycle between freedom and slavery we don’t see.

A little quibble: the definition of slavery is such that continuation in a state of slavery is involuntary. However, entry into the state of slavery was sometimes, in ancient times at least, voluntary. The Church venerates some saints who sold themselves into slavery so they could give the proceeds of their own sale to the poor.
