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