You could certainly argue that debt slavery makes anyone who isn’t a capitalist a slave, but I mean:
Slavery, even outside of debt slavery, continues to exist in the USA.
Every country that has billionaires also has slaves. The problem is the ruling class. Greed is universal.
You can make the points you're making about wage slavery, but you're conveying it a way that seems like you're saying it's same as chattel slavery and the transatlantic slave trade, and it sounds like you're minimizing just how much suffering it caused (and still does)
