It's all slavery, always has been
Sure, in a reductive sort of way. Kind of reminds me of native americans who, after being forcibly taken to europe and seeing how the people lived, concluded that no one there was free.
I think that criticism is still fundamentally true. But at the same time, what we have now is different from slavery. People are no longer legally considered property. Yes, labor is still coerced. But that coercion is now baked into the system, rather than an explicit interpersonal relationship of owed and owner.

Colonial people were slaves to their royalty. Oligarchs to this day still use slaves to convert more slaves over - eg bots are mainly slaves, NPR did a Planet Money episode about this. Obviously bots spread slave propaganda to convert people to their side and also accrue blackmail to force them to their side. Many of our celebs and politicians, people like Epstein, fit this exactly. Epstein wasn't a free man, even if he was an abusive man and a well paid slave. He didn't even own many of his own properties.

They tried to escape this by going to the Americas, a place for refugees and always has been. Many colonists tried to uprise against their captors and join the Native peoples because Native peoples were generally more democratic (keeping in mind we are talking about multiple continents of different groups of people).

People are explicitly labeled as slaves per the 13th amendment in the US constitution, and we no longer are given due process due to ICE policies. I think you just don't know what modern slavery is, which is intentional by our slavers.
Here are some docs about various forms:
- Thailand's Slave Fishermen
- Maid in Hell: Why Slavery?
- Slaves of Dubai
- Slavery by Another Name
- Dying for Gold
- Cobalt Red
- Whore's Glory
- Half the Sky
- Children Underground
