Incidentally, I stumbled on this while looking for a Marx quote about how representatives of the old feudal order falsely positioned themselves as allies to the lower classes by attacking the excesses of industrial capitalism. If anyone has that quote, please let me know.
If you lurk these "royalist" subs you sometimes get people fantasizing about living a humble peasant life. But they're always like, peasants in late-medieval central Europe living in those idyllic looking houses they preserve in Bavaria. Nobody ever images being a Russian surf or a slave on a Roman olive plantation.
