Summary

This quote suggests a controversial perspective that is rooted in the idea that slavery is a necessary component for societal progress. It insinuates that an unequal distribution of resources and benefits, where some individuals have a more favorable position while others are subjected to worse conditions, is essential for development. According to this viewpoint, those who are advantaged can only advance and make progress by exploiting and oppressing those who are less fortunate. This quote challenges widely accepted notions of justice, equality, and the belief that progress can be achieved without causing harm or suffering to others.
