| A slave is person who is the property of and wholly subject to another person. Hence, slavery is one application of owning property, whereas property is what he or she is. It’s a case of function (slave etc) vs. state (property).
It’s like a car you own (property) that you drive (function) or use for display (function) or use for spare parts (function). Depending on how you use the car it will either stay in its current form or be transformed into something else, maybe become part of many other cars and machines. But it is essentially property available for those with the money to buy it and use it in some way or other.
Property, therefore, is the catch-all term for all things available to be owned by free People. When a submissive person becomes property, they give up the ability to fully own in order to become owned themselves by the simple logic that if Z owns Y, and Y owns X, then Z owns both Y and X.
I’m not saying slave is the wrong term, it’s just not the only term that’s relevant, yet there is considerable emphasis on it to the point where property and ownership are lost. Which is a shame seeing that property is, after all, the route by which a free person becomes fully owned and enslaved.
Without an emphasis on property and ownership, slave is a more vague term. Hence, there is a difference between saying:
“You obey Me because you’re my slave”
and
“You obey Me because I own you”.
