There's no talk of "choice" when, as you admit it, the choice is between near-slavery or death.

Exactly. Work or die isn't a choice, its a threat.

I don't admit that.

However, even if that was the situation, "death" is strictly worse than "near-slavery", so you're still contributing to the lesser of two evils.
