Yes, but not in the way I imagine you intended. In capitalism, perhaps 80% of the value you create as an employee is captured by others (see sibling comment.) You can also opt out -- by becoming self employed, by joining a commune or collective, or by becoming a vagrant.
In socialism, the percentage of value you create captured by others is nearly 100%, and opting out is illegal -- in many socialist countries, even talking about opting out gets you sent to a "re-education camp."
I understand why I got downvoted, it seemed like a political drive-by comment. I should’ve explained what I was referring to in the first place. But this implication that socialism somehow naturally leads to slavery/internment in ways capitalism doesn’t is a canard.

No, this argument you’ve made is question-begging.
What I was referring to has more to do with the labor theory of value https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Labor_theory_of_value

That is a weird definition of socialism...
