Comparing them out of context to us has no value. The average serf today works more for comparatively less than those that lived under many monarchs. Do you think the average serf back then worked 40 hour weeks. 40+ weeks a year? This isn’t a defense of monarchies however. Just a condemnation of capitalism.
The increase in standard of living comes from industrialization and automation. Not capitalism. Because for all the atrocities and faults of ideologies like Leninism. They achieved similar increases in standard of living. Which again, is not a defense or praise of Leninism. Just pointing out that capitalism is equally contemptible at least.
Show me a system that doesn’t allow for oligarchs or vanguard, and we’ll talk.
Come on, man! The serfs/peasants/slaves had it way worse than anyone living under “economic liberalism”. There is no comparison! Not even close.
I will agree that zero tolerance policies oligarchs (all well as senior associates, propagandists and enablers) does benefit everyone.
