Tolstoy said...

"Continental powers without a murmur submitted to the introduction of a military service, that is, to the slavery, which for the degree of degradation and loss of will cannot be compared with any of the ancient conditions of slavery". - Leo Tolstoy (Patriotism and Government, 1905)

slavery

"(...) The captives was desocialized, depersonalized, degenerated, and decivilized upon capture. Once the captive was too distant from home to hope to escape, cut off from family, and dependent on the whim of the owner, he or she was forced to accept a subordinate role in the adoptive society."

Though about sth different, when I read this sentence I though of TSK.

P.Manning, "Slavery and African Life"
