Every year, we open up a stadium for a giant Pro Slavery + Pro Nazi + Pro Confederacy rally. At the end of the rally, we lock all the doors and sell everyone in the stadium to the highest-bidding slavers.
Everyone at the rally gets to enjoy their pro-slavery desires and everyone else is rid of them. Win-win.
um... who do we sell them to? if it's someone outside the stadium, aren't they also pro-slavery? wouldn't that mean they'd also be in the stadium? also, wouldn't we, then, end up with a lot of slaves?
this seems like a bad idea for a few reasons, the least of which is the hypocrisy...
Russel's slavery paradox.
It could be solved if slaves could own slaves, but it would become circular.
Hmmm... it wouldn't be circular if we had "levels" of slaves. Imagine you only directly enslaved the people in the level below you, and you were only directly enslaved by the people in the level above you. I think it would still end up circular in places, though, so maybe we should call these "classes" instead.

Not strong slavery. Never mention the word.
But make it so if you didn't play along then you would be cared for if you fell ill. Or you couldn't get food. And you could only level up if you passed the right exams.
Make sure the highest slave owner pays a different kind of tax to the others at a much lower rate.
Make sure ownership can be inherited with relative ease.
