But again, if you waved a magic wand and eliminated all forms of slavery how would 2/3 of the world's population that currently depends on it exist?

Moot point..if I had a magic wand, like your "god"..... I could and would wave away a bunch of shit that your "god" doesn't...but I don't, so I can't.  You do realize that it's not  the -slaves- who depend on slavery to exist in any such situation...right.....?  It's the plantation owner, not the plantation labor, that depends upon the institution.  Meh, fuck all that, too complicated......apparently you can;t handle anything more difficult than wondering what I would do with magical powers, and even that taxes you if the most biting question you can muster is the above.  I'd do alot of things that twisted your panties into knots..like getting rid of slavery, substandard wages, and substandard working conditions.

seriously?
Open your friggen eyes!
What happened to the American slaves right after they were freed? Did they all move away from the plantations, goto collage and all become doctors and lawyers?  No..

Many slaves went back to africa, Many more had to stay where they were because they did not want to leave their lives, their homes. those who did took on similar 'jobs'/share croppers which is the illusion of freedom, but still has you working the same job for the same 'pay.' Very few slaves (volume wise) completely changed their lives. Why? because they couldn't.

Education is not a universal fix we pretend it is today. Again not all are equal. Not all can be educated to a profitable level. For those who can't and have only known their vocation their whole life, then that is all they will ever be good for.

My grandfather died like this. He was a farmer/slave to empirical Japan, he work his family (annexed by Japan) lands as a slave to provide food for the Japanese war machine. After the war they cut him loose, and what did he do? he kept on farming in his mid 40s this time for the Korean government. Till he was moved here. Then took on the task of 'paying back' the family who moved them here by working a smaller family farm till he had a stroke @ 85 in another mans field, and later died a 'share cropper.'
 He knew a life where he lived very well, but after a life time spent in the fields this is all he ever knew and ever wanted for himself. The farmer/share cropper/slave accepted who he was and had no shame in it for him.

That is what is forgotten when people talk about slavery now. everyone assumes all slaves want what you all have. which for some I would even concede most may or did. but again not all. History records this to be true.
