  Well, there's no need to bring back wage slavery at least, as it never went away. But other forms of slavery are available, not least the mental slavery that the good Blake wrote so eloquently about. As for the workhouse, I believe RB favours the reintroduction of those beneficent institutions supported by the undeserving rich, run by the empathetically-challenged and designed to alleviate the condition of the desperate poor by having them engage in such career-enhancing labour as oakum picking and stone crushing, the experience of which would likely leave them consumptive skeletons or, if they were lucky, corpses. Such an attitude to the disadvantaged is near universal but does credit to nobody.
