      There are differences, yes, but they’re built on the same foundation and as such by definition NOT fundamentally different.

        They don’t have the same foundation. Aristocrat/serf dynamics are entirely different from Bourgeois/Proletarian relations.

        Reading Marx would help you.

          Aristocrat/serf dynamics are entirely different from Bourgeois/Proletarian relations.

          They most certainly aren’t.

          Reading Marx would help you.

          I have. Guess what: he wasn’t right about everything.

            Serfs have a certified existence, they do not sell their labor in a market. They work their land, without participating in Capitalism.

            Proletarians do not have a certified existence. They compete against each other in a labor market.

            The difference is stark despite both being working classes.
