Well having read and watched reports of tons of slavery going on right here in Canada a developed nation I'd have to say it is still very viable.

Sex slavery is the most viable. Girls kidnapped from other countries or even from other provinces forced to have sex with dozens of sick perverts each day. The owner makes a huge loot keeping all of the money. The pimp or owner then has to buy them clothes and feed them rashions but this can be done very cheap.

I also watched a report of men who had been immigrated into my country legally. They were brough over by an immigration group promising them all jobs. However once they got here their owners made them get welfare and then worked them on construction sites. The men were fed scraps and left overs and like 20 were kept in one basement. They worked extremely long days and got no pay for their work. In the end it wouldn't have cost their owners too much to house them.

Also health care, here in Canada it is free for any citizen who can't afford it. So slave owners don't need to worry about that. Also slave owners would probubly let their slave die if they weren't wracking in enough money.

So is slavery economically viable in a first world country? Yes in Canada it is everywhere, sex slavery even work slavery.

I wonder, based upon some people's posts on this site in off-topic, if some people would end up having people die of starvation, or end up in slavery (what was describe above), rather than engage in prolonged welfare with free handouts and people not working.  Hey, the slavery relationship consists of people who do labor, and they get room and board in exchange.  They have no hope of anything else, but I guess some people don't mind this, that others face this.

Well I think that would depend on which country you live in. In maybe Somalia or another poor country where less then 10% have jobs yes it would be advantageous to be a slave and get your room and food paid for. But in most developed and even many developing countries it is not.

A man in a developed country can work where he chooses, if he can't find work the state will help him do so and in the meantime prop him up with welfare as you speak of. Even being homeless in Canada is better then being a slave, shelters are everywhere and church's and aid groups will feed you. If you want work then you can apply for low income housing and help finding a job from the Gov.

I myself would rather live on the streets then be a slave treated the way modern slaves are treated. Forced to screw or work in louzy conditions well getting fed scraps and spoiling food.

Modern slavery does exist as many have already pointed out.

I had relatives who worked 12 hours a day, 6 days a week for a 300 dollars salary.

In my country, that's barely enough to rent something 1 hour and a half away from your working place and to eat something every day.

Get yourself out of your very own world, your cosmovision, and imagine that you don't know people in a position to help you or that you don't have the means to be economically independent. No special technical knowledge, no tools, no house, no money. Just the urge to have something to add to your family table every day. You think about it every day but there are only obstacles everywhere (people tend to think that poor people and because they are lazy or stupid and that poor countries are poor because they are the land of ignorant people ruled by corrupt men, and that's a very coward and condecendent way of thinking).

Those who have lots of money in countries as mine, who are very little people and are very very rich, can easily hire lots of people in great need. They can pay very low salaries and most of the time they pay what we call black salaries (no legal salaries). That means no protection at all in case of trial. That means you as a worker are totally screwed. International companies pressed local legislation to become more "flexible" in order to make of those countries "echonomically viable".

Those people (and those companies) get richer and richer because they practise modern slavery. And they think the OP idea is not so brillant nor new because slavery has not stopped happening, ever. It just changed its name for modern audiences preferences.

That is not a realistic set of alternatives ...

People don't end up as slaves in western developed nations because they lack the ability to take care of themselves; most of them end up as slaves because some "empathetic" moron believes that a system which allows for a lot of illegal immigrants is good for the illegal immigrant. It doesn't matter whether you're talking about Mexicans who are smuggled across the US border, or people from other parts of the world who land in Canada, claim to be refugees, and disappear before anyone hears their claim, without any real status within a country a person is likely going to be exploited.

At the same time, welfare programs in modern days have gone far beyond preventing people from starving; and today their primary accomplishment seems to be preventing anyone from getting ahead.
