    You forgot one small thing - 99% of the population were literally slaves during these wonderful times.

        Well, if you think that peasantry was cool…

          • 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.

                That’s some commie lunacy.
