Leo Tolstoy Quote on Slavery and Exploitation

„Slavery, you know, is nothing else than the unwilling labor of many. Therefore to get rid of slavery it is necessary that people should not wish to profit by the forced labor of others and should consider it a sin and a shame. But they go and abolish the external form of slavery and arrange so that one can no longer buy and sell slaves, and they imagine and assure themselves that slavery no longer exists, and do not see or wish to see that it does, because people still want and consider it good and right to exploit the labor of others.“

Leo TolstoiLeo Tolstoy explains that slavery persists despite abolition because people still accept exploitation as right.
