They don't line up with the Amarr at all.
They differ on a fundamental level.
1.) He suggests Amarr make use of slaves because it is not against religion, whereas the Amarr fundamentally incorporate the act of slave taking with their scripture. The Amarr race believe that they are doing the work of God by gathering these people together under a single banner and spreading their religion. Even during the early days after the Amarr claimed Assimia and the two Udorian Continents it was considered fashionable to release slaves who had show piety and loyalty to their masters.
In the centuries subsequent years following the Amarr found it to be a powerful means of subjugating a local populous and the naturally inducting them into society like the Udorians and Ni-Kunni who unlike the Ealur were capable of functioning indepentantly and within the Amarrian social sphere.
2.) While the second point makes sense the Holder is responsible for the Slave being taught the correct conventions of Amarrian culture, and this differs slightly when you consider that the Amarr are not teach the Minmatar to obey them but instead directing their obedience and worship to God and the chosen vessel of his secular authority.
3.) The Empire is wholly the furthest thing for a Republic or a republicanist state you could possible have. The title of Emperor or Empress is essentially hereditary as it is passed down through the Heir household lines, though is not dynastic like a traditional monarchy or dictatorship. All of these decisions and ceremonies have to be supported by the Privy and Theological Councils meaning that simply proving oneself worthy is not enough. As state in many sources the Amarr is a Theocracy under the divine leadership of the nobility backed by the church.
4.) Fourth point is subject to history. Only recently did the Amarr come to suggest that the mistreatment of slaves was negative as previously they had on many occasions harshly treated enslaved cultures, especially the Ealur who were nearly made extinct under the whip. Furthermore only liberal Holders and devotees of Emperor Heideran consider this to be the case though secular law dictates that publically they should treat slaves with benevolences however the Amarr are public people who are resistant to social change especially where their religion and household traditions are concerned. As such as long as this all happens behind closed doors and does not become public the matter is not questioned.
However slave revolts in recent years have been common. After Vak'Atioth, after the Elder Invasion, after the Insorium incident and despite the newer more liberal and gentle methods the Amarr use to indoctrinate slaves the Minmatar still remain stubborn.
There literally is no real parallel on this earth for the slavery that exists within the Amarr Empire.

The Caldari simply, as I recall do no truly have a concept for it. I believe somewhere that it was written that a citizen should want to contribute to their people, being forced to do so is a sign of disrespect.
Moreover the Caldari consider forced labour inefficient and a waste of man power.
