What a surprise, capitalism is a relatively new system

Lol is this the tankie take on the above story? You think that sounds like some kind of paradise?

Can you elaborate on your assumptions and why he might assume it's a paradise?

He brings up capitalism out of the blue, for no reason whatsoever, in response to a post about serfdom. With a sarcastic β€œwhat a surprise.” Is he implying serfdom is preferable to capitalism?

Well, everybody knows capitalism rose out of feudalism in Europe. @ Cheesus briefly mentions it too.

The sarcasm is a response to the universal assumption that money and wages were always had universally. But @ TheChurn says very few were paid and those were rare.

Reminder: the soviets ran a state-capitalist system. That's not very feudalist.

I think you've misunderstood her quite a bit. Happens a lot on here lol.
