• Considering the emancipatory interest of humans, I
  see two glaring modern forms. In purely economic
  terms: unpaid child labor in farm, factory and related job sites.
  In terms of gender relations (with or without economic
  gain on the part of the "master"): sex slavery.
  However, the question should have covered the entire
  range of contemporary life. To me, the most glaring postmodern
  form of slavery is knowledge slavery that comes with and
  results from indoctrination in grand theories or narratives.

• Our citizens are exploited, unable to use
  their potentials, serving others except
  their own, forced to leave their family
