I have not looked into any sources on what life was like for a feudal peasant. However, I’ve heard that peasants had more holidays and rest. I also believe the life of a peasant was more communal and satisfactory with religion being a central feature. This, to me, is a stark contrast to the life of the modern proletariat in the Global North who often lives for work, is more and more isolated, and maybe gets only a month off work. Yes, we have higher life expectancy now (quantity) but I cant help but think that peasants had a better quality of life. Please educate me on this topic and provide some sources to look at. Thank you! 🙏

    I was saying that whoever accused communists of not reading the manifesto, is full of it. No one is unfairly demonizing capitalism.

      Again you aren’t saying anything that disagrees with any of my comments.

      I don’t understand what the purpose of your comments is. You express hostility against me while agreeing with me. Its confusing.

        I was/am suspicious of you saying that capitalism is demonized by amemorablename was demonizing capitalism. But I did re-read your post, and I understand your concern of romanticizing feudalism.

        Edit: I apologize for jumping the gun and being a dick. I think I misread your message/misread your intent, earlier.
