I got the quote from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wage_slavery

Where did you hear that it was specific only to freed slaves?

From Citation 33 of the Wikipedia article you linked. Reading the original source provides the context of the quote.

Ok that's what I read too. The Wikipedians and I must be interpreting it differently.
