Curious. My first thought was "Since the author seems to be abusing emotional connotations to make his point, what is the most subversive position about this thought experiment that I can still defend? " And my answer is, it is possible to frame the very first situation in terms of non-slavery, simply because the master is so far above the slave that it's borderline meaningless to attribute him agency. You might as well call humans slaves of chance.
