    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.









  • Hitler’s American model describes Hitler’s dreams to match the power of the colonial powers of the day, Britain and France. But his inspiration came from the colonies themselves. In this book the American model with regard to race is explored, rather than canadian systems, but clearly Canada is not very different in that regard.

    Some highlights:

    • The Nazis found that the one-drop rule was too harsh - (only because mixed Jews were somewhat white-passing whereas mixed Black people couldn’t pass and remained legally Black).

    • Manifest Destiny inspired Lebensraum (probably Canada and Australia too).

    • Nazi Race Law/Blood laws and second class citizenship laws for Jews were inspired by similar laws in the US (‘legal realism’ justification’).


    A fun long-read.
