All polygynous societies have slaves . All. Who would voluntarily work for a regime in which the elites all have more than one wife while the average worker has less than one? Men with multiple wives need about one slave for every additional wife after the first.
Timestamp 13:40 — he’s really talking about the jewish slave trade here. Jews were always the major purveyors of slaves to Muslims especially in Iberia and north africa. After the reconquista, Iberian jews got kicked out and turned to new markets in the new world colonies. But alot of the nodes of the atlantic slave trade were the same as in the “arab” slave trade were the (((slavers))).
