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.
