          He brings up capitalism out of the blue, for no reason whatsoever, in response to a post about serfdom. With a sarcastic “what a surprise.” Is he implying serfdom is preferable to capitalism?

            Well, everybody knows capitalism rose out of feudalism in Europe. @ Cheesus briefly mentions it too.

            The sarcasm is a response to the universal assumption that money and wages were always had universally. But @ TheChurn says very few were paid and those were rare.

            Reminder: the soviets ran a state-capitalist system. That’s not very feudalist.

            I think you’ve misunderstood her quite a bit. Happens a lot on here lol.

          How else are you going to rile up discontent toward left ideology unless you’re constantly accusing people of being an extremist?
