        • slavery and peasantry are distinct, though I understand they are similar in many important and relevant ways
        • there are only pretty minor (and impractical) differences between feudal peasants and contemporary employer-employee arrangements

        There is a reason many have suggested we are headed toward (or already in) a neo-feudalism

        I say if we have to live as peasants anyway, let’s bring back tar and feathering

        Edit: hell, we even still have lord and tenant as titles

          Contemporary employer-employee arrangements are not even close to the feudal peasantry.
