Yeah no hard disagree that they are on the same order of bad. As a wage worker you aren’t legally required to carry your owners rape baby to term so it can be sold for profit on the open market. Millions of people have fought and died to abolish large scale chattle slavery and equating it to wage work is incredibly gross. Wage work is horrible and exploitative and should be abolished, but pretending it’s the same as literally bring owned is insane.
I’m not saying they are literally exactly the same and I don’t know how to make this any more clear. Both classes are exploited for their labor in the pursuit of profit, and both are coerced into participating in the system by punishment of death. They have similarities, but I am not saying they are exactly the same. Chattel slavery is several orders of magnitude worse than wage slavery - but they can both be measured on the same metaphorical magnitude scale.
