Feudalism and slavery involve the direct application of force by the boss
to the "employee" in order to extract surplus-labor. Capitalism does not,
except in extraordinary circumstances (as with some efforts to break
strikes or the Nazi move to create state-slaves).

CB: And in the whole first historical phase of capitalism in which literal slave-labor
was combined with wage-labor as a fundamental form of expropriating surplus value for
accumulation in the capitalist manner of M-C-M' , shorthand for Money for Commodity
for more Money than you started out with.
