FWIW, my definition of slavery is that the value of your productivity is owned and controlled by someone else, not you.

I see, so you too consider capitalism a form of slavery.

When things are done right, capitalism does not have to mean that. Employees can, for example, own stock in the company where they work. Some companies basically insist that employees do so and intentionally develop an employee-owned company culture.

Of course, when workers and stockholders are entirely separate classes of people, then, basically, yes. But that is not an inevitable outcome, even though it seems to generally be the state of things currently.
