== Slavery vs. Forced Labor ==
Conservapedia (as well as wikipedia) define [[slavery]] as '' a legal economic system with involuntary servitude, such that the people held in bondage must work for their owner, and can be bought and sold (see Slave trade). ''
While it is apt to speak of ''slave labor camps'' etc., one main aspect of slavery - i.e. that the slaves can be bought and sold - wasn't given in the Soviet Union. That's why this abhorrent system is generally referred to as ''forced labor''.
