Summary

This quote asserts that all forms of socialism ultimately lead to a state of slavery. It argues that what defines a slave is the fact that their labor is compelled by force, with the goal of fulfilling someone else's desires or needs. The quote implies that in a socialist system, individuals are coerced to work for the collective and their personal freedom and autonomy are sacrificed. By drawing a parallel between socialism and slavery, the quote suggests that socialist ideologies result in a loss of individual liberty and the perpetuation of coercion.
