There's a game, /r/EliteDangerous, in which a future society (the Empire) is based on slavery (in particular, debt slavery), roughly inspired by the ancient Roman society. Usually people roleplay justifying their support to the Empire by the fact that these slaves live better than poor people in a capitalist society. Do you think that this is a "realistic" situation, or in other words, are there some realities in which slaves are considered to be "privileged"?
