       Hey anarchists, want to know your opinions: is capitalism better or worse than feudalism and why?

       @dtluna hard to answer in terms of universally better, but in some aspects for the common person I think a peasant lifestyle ideal (working at a village scale to satisfy most of your needs within small community, more rare use of money for tools/expertise/luxury) is better than a consumer lifestyle ideal (work all day on something not at all relevant to your personal or community needs, use money to buy everything). so this is based on the assumption under feudalism the masses are likely to be peasants, while under capitalism the masses are likely to be consumers. it also doesn't consider if feudal lords are more cruel than 'corporate overlords', but maybe thats the more interesting side of the question?

       @mlg I would pick capitalism, because I'd rather be a corporate "wageslave" rather than an actual slave that could be beaten to near death for disobedience to my feudal master

       @dtluna damn, as soon as i posted this I thought "what if the conversion from peasant to consumer is because of industrialization, not because of feudalism or capitalism?" so sorry in advance if its a stupid argument

       @mlg i think this is some sort of historical materialism which is a false paradigm

       @dtluna in that aspect i agree, I prefer commonly known and accepted rules/laws that apply equally to everyone, rather than the whimsical opinion of a master.
