      No. Feudalism was focused on rent extraction, but serfs produced the bulk of their own goods. Capitalism is based on competition and wage labor. These are both class systems, but they have different mechanisms and different “next stages.”

      not at all, the foundation of feudalism was serfs either paying rent for the land or paying a tax out of their production. the foundation of capitalism is wage labor. the intensives and motivations for everyone involved are fundamentally different in the 2 systems. The assertion just also doesnt make sense from a historical perspective capitalism came before any of the technology associated with it.

        But you have Netflix and social media… Aren’t you happy? So much fun to spend all energy at work so you sit at home exhausted until the next morning.
