    Roads? Slave labor. Taxes? Slave labor. Taxes that fund the police? Somehow not slave labor.

    Like you’re not wrong, democrats do advocate slave labor in the form of supporting the prison-industrial complex, but I know you’re not talking about that.

            They protect the institution of private property, not any individual’s personal property.
