'''Slavery''' is a system of involuntary servitude that has a highly debated date of origin, and in modern discourse usually refers to the form as such exists in [[socialist]] [[gulag]]s, re-education camps, [[grooming gang]]s, [[prostitution]], human trafficking, and other forms of involuntary labor.  Slavery continues to be practiced in some [[Africa]]n countries, although officially made illegal under pressure by [[imperialism]].  In contemporary societies that still practice slavery (including [[Marxist]] ones), the subjects have limited or no [[Rights]]. While many [[liberal]]s claim or suggest that slavery in the [[U.S.]] was unusual, slavery was common and predominant in the vast majority of the world and throughout history.<ref>Williams, Walter E.

In many societies slavery was the precursor of a modern criminal justice system; many [[Islamic]] societies regard a modern criminal justice system, with [[prison]]s for convicted criminals or [[prisoners of war]], as a form of [[Western]] [[colonialism]] that impinges on their indigenous cultural values and traditions of enslavement for offenders and people who become a public charge. In [[Marxist]] theory the entire population, other than government officials and [[bureaucrat]]s, are public charges.

There are several different types of slavery which have been known to history. Debt slavery, war trophies, and racial or cultural prejudice have all been used to justify slave systems.  Slavery became a legal form of debt payment prior to [[bankruptcy]] laws for people incapable of managing their financial affairs. Not all Master-slave relationships were abusive - some slaves willingly served a fair master for life who provided sustenance and protection. Slaves could be bought and sold (see [[slave trade]]). The [[Year of Jubilee]] was instituted by God for His own nation in order to prevent slavery from becoming a means by which cleverly unscrupulous, or cleverly ignorant, people made a living, such as happened in the American South.
