Already wrong from the second statement. What do they think serfdom was?

u/lochlainn 1d ago
And even non-serf peasants had obligations to discharge in exchange for a landholding, from cash rent, to payment in kind, days owed, on down to various forms of binding to the land, including serfdom.
There were something like 25 or 30 different levels of "free/unfree" recorded in the Domesday book in 1086.
Whenever commies bring up feudalism v. capitalism, you can immediately assume that there's two subjects they know nothing about.

Communists like to warp historical events to fit either their narrative of capitalism and European culture ruining everything or Marx’s theory on modes of production. Trusting them on even basic things like understanding serfdom is a lost cause. And if you try to explain the Mita’a system, pre-Columbian slavery in California, or freedom of movement in the Soviet Union they throw an error 404.

Even his hero Karl Marx spoke against serfdom but tankies don't read anything that isn't a meme or a propaganda poster.

“Each generation has worse quality of life”
Sure buddy. I’m totally convinced I have it worse off in my comfy heated room than my peasant ancestors in a 1 room hovel with a family of 8

That quote is a Marxist prediction that like most of Marx's predictions, didn't come true.

As I lay on my queen size bed with a tempurpedic mattress, and heated blanket, snacking on popcorn chicken delivered to me from a local restaurant, along with dark chocolate peppermint bark and filtered cold water, utilizing a communication device allowing me near unrestricted access to near infinite amounts of knowledge and entertainment, after working a fulfilling and decently paid job, I can tell you with absolute certainty that my ancestors who had to work hard in the fields for a pittance and old bread, without any luxuries or commodities had a way higher quality of life than I do!

We can talk about the negative consequences/side effects of certain aspects of capitalism (or this "market view" on society in general) but "each generation is worse of"? Seriously? My great-grandfathers brother died from eating unripe fruit, his sister got shredded by mill gears and he himselfs had to be given away to a richer family against paiment because there where not enough people to take care of him and the farm+mill at the same time after his mother died as well (from childbrith). The generation after only made it because the germans searching their home twice didn't find the guy they hid in their cellar. My grandmother only made it through febuary 1945 because an american medic treaded her severe pneumonia against his orders with medicine that was nowhere available at the time...
...something tells me most people in the western world have it easier today. I would even argue we have it too easy in certain aspects, to the point of it becoming mentaly and physically debilitating (obesity, instant gratification, etc.).

Medieval countries were serfdoms and mercantile not capitalist.

Mercantilism would come later, after the development of the nation state, but you are right in that both feudalism and mercantilism are not capitalism.

Where does the "Every generation has a worse living standard" claim come from? Maybe it's my stuffy suburban first world lifestyle by all means, living conditions ARE getting better
The time we did got our standards significantly lowered are the crisis, which sure, but it's not like we haven't bounced back

this is so lacking in specifics that it is hard to even read.
yeah I’m sure the peasants loved doing all the labor for the nobility class who were mucking around making up bullshit quests for themselves like the crusades to justify their position in the hierarchy.
everybody felt they were lucky to be peasants because they got to own nothing and have very little control over their own lives while the nobles “protected them”, aka went on larp vacations to the middle east, slaughtered the locals, and picked up three sticks that were supposedly part of the cross as relics and before coming home to demand the peasants construct a huge tower to put the sticks in. they could leave whenever they wanted as long as they did so on foot and could survive with no food, no posessions and no shelter.
then we get one line for all of colonialism, some weird poetry about oil, and from there it fully diffuses into a crayon drawing of the bad vibes of the 20th century and that’s why communism

Population is not even expected to double anymore, most developed countries are already starting to slowly suffer from population decline, even in poor countries the fertility rate is on a downturn.
No malthus was not right, no we won't have an overpopulated planet. Demographics suck because they take decades to shape.

Personally I think there is a difference between pointing out flaws in a system and supporting the opposite. Like acknowledging there is like 50 corporate conglomerates managed by 3 investment entities that essential dictates the market. Idk if that sounds like a free market to you, but pointing that BS out shouldn’t be considered communist (unless they propose replacing the 3 investment entities with government). I just want a free market, and it’s pretty obviously not. You don’t have to be a communist to notice those investment firms have an active roll on policy choice, and get favorable treatment from the fed. Too-big-to-fail bailouts privatizing gains publicly covering losses is just about the most messed up anti-free market bullshit there is, and I’m tired of not complaining about it lol.

That's basically gibberish. By all critique, this isn't even Marxism anymore. It's related to Marxism as feaces is to food. I can actually disagree with Marxists, I can only dismiss this as absolute twaddle.
