You're really trying to shill for slavery? Why do you call yourself a christian socialist?
Let me get this straight, the Catholic Church...

From what I've read there was no slavery within the missions in southern barzil/northen argentina, and they were generally pretty good places to live(if you can handle the whole religious atmosphere) with a developed economy and culture(although the jesuits never ordained any Guarani).

My point is that it wasn't slavery at all, despite what your American History books written by masons might say. Most such communities (that I know of) were voluntary and even attracted escaped slaves. But sure, believe what the bourgeoisie says about the Catholc Church
They probably didn't do it because of not being allowed to thanks to the revolutionary environment in the Philippines under similar circumstances, I'm guessing

Explain how slavery isn't slavery.
Indians were initially attracted into the mission compounds by gifts of food, colored beads, bits of bright cloth, and trinkets. Once a Native American "gentile" was baptized, they were labeled a neophyte, or new believer. This happened only after a brief period during which the initiates were instructed in the most basic aspects of the Catholic faith. But, while many natives were lured to join the missions out of curiosity and sincere desire to participate and engage in trade, many found themselves trapped once they were baptized.[21] On the other hand, Indians staffed the militias at each mission[22] and had a role in mission governance.
To the padres, a baptized Indian person was no longer free to move about the country, but had to labor and worship at the mission under the strict observance of the priests and overseers, who herded them to daily masses and labors. If an Indian did not report for their duties for a period of a few days, they were searched for, and if it was discovered that they had left without permission, they were considered runaways. Large-scale military expeditions were organized to round up the escaped neophytes. Sometimes, the Franciscans allowed neophytes to escape the missions, or they would allow them to visit their home village. However, the Franciscans would only allow this so that they could secretly follow the neophytes. Upon arriving to the village and capturing the runaways, they would take back Indians to the missions, sometimes as many as 200 to 300 Indians.
The work day was six hours, interrupted by dinner (lunch) around 11:00 a.m. and a two-hour siesta, and ended with evening prayers and the rosary, supper, and social activities. About 90 days out of each year were designated as religious or civil holidays, free from manual labor. The labor organization of the missions resembled a slave plantation in many respects.[29][notes 6] Foreigners who visited the missions remarked at how the priests' control over the Indians appeared excessive, but necessary given the white men's isolation and numeric disadvantage.[30][notes 7] Indians were not paid wages as they were not considered free laborers and, as a result, the missions were able to profit from the goods produced by the Mission Indians to the detriment of the other Spanish and Mexican settlers of the time who could not compete economically with the advantage of the mission system.

this is only the liberals with a red fetish. The catholic and orthodox is actually pretty based.
Man is a religious animal. Despite which mode of production we have we have always had religion and probably always will.
