Let me rephrase:

In all slavic languages, 'robot' is the base of the verb 'to work'. So, by the same means by which some people have decided to translate 'robot' as 'slave', it would be more accurate to translate it as 'worker'.




Right, except for the part where that is 'more accurate' because it's not. Oh, and the play came out after the Russian revolution.
