The medieval craftsmen were not a feudalist mode of production. They broke feudalism by not fitting tidily into any of the boxes, and accumulating wealth and power independent of nobility.

>break feudalism Feudalism didn’t break until industrial modes of production set in. Guild production and feudalism were symbiotic. Your point would only be tru if the instatiation of guild/craft production system heralded the end of feudalism, which it categorically did not.

Guild socialism is a thing even if one doesn’t really agree with it.

Suffice it to say Marx saw alienation as ontological & thus feudal labor as not necessarily alienated but still exploited—however this assumes no markets or division of production & distribution & I think Marx kinda got the history wrong .

Yeah, I remember having the impression that Marx had a... somewhat romanticized view of pre-modern times, like back then everyone owned a little shop & sold the wares they lovingly made by hand for good prices.

Yeah though in his defense basically everyone has that view lol.

Yeah, it's pretty much the whole premise of Renn Fest.

It's not, they're just using words that sound romantic as a smokescreen for neorevisionist socioimperialism, but two can play that game of musical chinese firedrills.

It seems odd, but Marx wrote nostalgically about the craftsmen of olden days, compared with the wage laborers of his day.
