Poverty is just another form of slavery. Using your line of hyperbole I could also say the same for any developed capitalist nation.

Now more to your point. The worker movements in the developed west was not shy to use force.

An example in England would be workers marching to a factory owners house demanding better working conditions or else they’d kill him. I believe similar events also happened in the US.

Poverty is not another form of slavery and claiming that downplays in the extreme what slavery actually was. That is absolute nonsense.
