Do slaves have free will?

From an online source:

"Since when do slaves have free will, you idiot?!"

----

cfr. a more balanced view -- also online:

"Do slaves have free will?"

"One could argue that yes, they do because they can choose not to obey their masters."

"But what are the consequences if they don't? Not too good, I'd say."

---

Anscombe:

"If I'm chained up, I don't have free will, everybody agrees."

Albritton:

"I don't! Poor Miss Anscombe in chains!"
