So slavery as indentured servitude is the American future. Way to "new model" the old model.

Well said. But what I haven't seen mentioned, is that this system will require a high degree of social control. Religion and racism will be used to keep these multigenerational factory drones angry at each other. Otherwise, they may begin to resent the fact that their wealthy masters have health care and leisure.

The real struggle is the class struggle. For capitalism to function, the average low-info worker can't be allowed to see that.
