> Do you think your standard of living under such a system would be lower, the same, or higher than it is now?

that would probably depend on whether you're being exploited by the current system

Imagine looking at a group of slave owners and slaves and asking a similar question with regards to ending slavery, and being all like "well let's hear both sides".

I fail to see the relation between people participating in an economy based on a voluntary exchange of goods and services and slavery.

There's people participating in that economy benefiting from people in other countries being exploited in order for those participants to get cheap products.
