    • 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.
