      Peasants had it a hundred times better than chattel slaves, though you do have a point. I remember a commentor the other day talking about some Chinese people speaking of the "revitalization of China" as though everyone was an aristocrat under the Ming Dynasty rather than most being a peasant or near equivalent.
