    Yeah sure, as long as you don’t associate any meaning with the word.

    Slavery is people literally kidnapped and forced to work in fields without wages or actual housing. Well, also, it’s kind of just when you make kind of close to minimum wage. Well, actually, it’s when you’re a computer programmer but you wish you got paid more. Who cares. It’s all the same word.

    That is not the only form of slavery, and modern slavery very rarely resembles the specifics of the Atlantic slave trade.

    Regardless, neither has very much to do with wage slavery, but it nonetheless remains a term in use and not a totally random use of the word.
