Craig POne option is the Persona route: the monsters you summon are basically just your own personality fragments. Anything that makes them "not an analogue for real people or animals" would work.
Another option is the freedom fighter route: sure, slavery is bad, but your recruits are fighting against it!
When I try to think of worlds where these things are possible, I keep getting drawn to the more abstract, psychedelic concepts.
