1. Belief is exploitable.

I don't think that is reasonably contestable. There are examples literally everywhere. It's basically the definition of the word "propaganda:" the creation of belief to exploit a population.

2. Believing something is true doesn't make it true.

I don't think that is reasonably contestable either. Every single person on this planet believes something is true that you do not. The vast majority believe many, many things that fall into that category. Either they are wrong, you are wrong, or everyone is wrong. Those are the only options.

3. People's beliefs have been exploited to keep them in slavery.

See any act of recognized slavery, and how the masters have created and retained the belief within the minds of all of their slaves that they are owned. You can't hold on to a slave that recognizes their self-agency. What slave owners do to people who reject their mastery and can't be broken (beliefs changed) is kill them. Those people die, but they die free.

4. A person can only be truly enslaved by their own choice, even if they don't realize they are making that choice.

A person can (in general) always choose to die, thus there is always a way out, there is always a choice, even if both options suck. Choice means self-agency. Slavery means no self-agency, thus slavery is always a choice (and doesn't really exist except as a state of mind).

There may be exceptions to "always a choice" (MKUltra e.g.), but in general, I assert this as a reasonable premise.

5. It is possible that people could believe that they are free, but they are not. The belief that they are slaves (a necessary belief by premise 4) is hiding from their own awareness, locked deep within their minds; within contradicting beliefs that they don't really think about as contradictions (or think about at all).

This assertion is probably not something that most people would agree with, but the evidence for this assertion abounds. If you would like examples, look outside.

If we assume that these premises are true, is it possible that people believe that they are free, when they actually live in slavery, because they know that they are free? In other words, is it possible that the box that contains them and enslaves them is a function of their belief that they are free, coupled with the unseen but conflicting beliefs that enforce that false belief of freedom?

If so, then exploiting that belief, that "knowledge," and encouraging such a set of beliefs that create the opposite of the truth would be the reason people are enslaved. In other words, if people did not have the belief that they are free, they would no longer be slaves, or at least would have the opportunity to break free by rejecting the belief and thus their Masters.
