Not that poster, but as presented the quote comes off as being overly deterministic. Not all societies before the steam engine relied on slavery, agriculture existed for a long time before serfdom did, etc. I don't think expanding on Marx to say that not all societies followed the European model of development means that he was wrong, however.

Fair, and that's totally a valid thing to say. I just wouldnt expect their analysis to be more than "BUT MARX BAD" and thats it.
