“Read about serfdom”
It is remarkable how similar serfdom is to modern day socialism....where socialism has become “ripened” to the point that the government (ruling class) has taken all prosperity from the masses under the guise of benefiting the masses...and all of the wealth winds up with the ruling class...with crumbs left for the masses.
Great point. It’s also remarkable that socialists/Communists have been able to perpetuate the myth that they are somehow on the opposite end from Fascists on a linear political spectrum. They are both controlling, authoritarian, dictatorial systems that concentrate power in the politically connected ‘elites’. No matter what political ‘scientists’ and other academics try to sell us about how under socialism/Communism power is concentrated ‘in the people’, it never is.
