It's like when we had wars the losers went to prison death or slavery

It's nothing like that.

Expecting strangers to work to support you and, as expected, when they refuse which will require you to support yourself, that inst the same as condemning you to slavery. Trying to force strangers to work to support you would be the same as enslaving them.

Kind of like how the rich have constructed a system whereby they force us to work for them at thier companies in order to eat

Except the rich are maybe 20% of the electorate, the 80% is more responsible for the system. That's you.
