    Was the system that the peasantry lived under in the commons the same as what we have now?

    Globally…if you are living better than that then you’re in the high earners tier

    The quote you just gave is from famous socialist George Orwell from his book Animal Fram. Which is critical of the structures the Soviet Union created.

    Yes, glad you can keep up…now try to use a small amount of critical thinking and question why that was?

    Did socialism not work because of capitalism? Did capitalism not work because of capitalism? Did feudalism not work because of capitalism? Did mercantilism not work because of capitalism?

    Of course not, you would have to be an idiot to argue that…or that Adam Smith argued against capitalism

    It’s because of the bourgeoisie class that will always change the system to their benefit. And replacing the people in that class with new ones doesn’t change that
