In Hungary there's no history of such slavery. Peasants liberties were limited but it was not slavery. I feel your perspective is very Anglo American. There are European countries with very little or no culture of slavery.

When discussing African nuances between, slave, peasant, peon, churl, sharecropper, whatever are discarded, and all are designated slaves. In Europe such nuances are emphasised, frankly this is probably done unconciously for egotistical reasons.
