    There is a big difference between doing work that only increases the profits of the rich and further alienates you and your community and making a new sweater because you want one.

    I think if those peasants heard that, they would introduce you to the working end of some farming tools for suggesting their hard struggle against hunger and cold is “new sweater because you want one”, which is absolute disgusting reductionism.

    Sure they did more tasks, but it’s not like we don’t do chores all day outside of work and on holidays.

    Yeah we do, still way less than they did labour necessary to maintain their homes.

    Then they do chores from when they wake until they sleep most days and so do we. I’d rather do more chores for myself and less work for my boss thank you very much

    Again nice reduction of their heavy toil for “chores”, you would absolutely shit yourself and died if you had to live like them, especially the literal slave serfs.
