I feel like the purported capitalism that's run rampant for centuries is just an extension and rebranding of the OG feudalism. Always thought that.
Very true, been touting this for years. The rich tricked the peasantry into helping them take over the aristocracy. Now we have less legal protections than a medieval serf.
Basically. The original bourgeois fighting against the feudal lords basically changed just enough so that they themselves could become lords, or lord like, with no so much care for anyone below thier own class.
There are significant differences, but yes, in a way. Class conflict has always been at the core of modern human history, and when the bourgeoisie and Proletariat teamed up against the Aristocracy, Capital was transfered from the hands of the microscopically few to the hands of much more. However, this is an incomplete transfer of power, and as Capital consolidates, it trends back to a form of Feudalism.
Yeah, well put. I'm just identifying the underlying class conflict of resource scarcity and power hunger, through all of human history under the guise of any and every governmental system
Very concisely written dude.. really nails the way the shifting about happened
You are not alone in believing this.
I used the term "thinly veiled feudalism" in a college paper or three.
I had a history teacher in the late 90s that lapped up every paper I wrote bc within the boundaries of the assignment, I'd be writing about Che instead of Teddy Roosevelt.
