'Tis not the King who is evil, the King is wonderful and he loves the peasants. 'Tis the King's advisers who are the real source of evil! If I could sit down and talk to the King, I'm sure he would realize how much I'm suffering, and he would make things right.
Difference is that modern liberals will blame the “King,” state leadership. The problem isn’t bourgeois hegemony, it’s the politicians at large, or of one particular party, interfering with true capitalism, and if they’d get out of the way everything would be fixed.
So more like, the lord whose land I am tied to from birth to death isn’t the problem, he wants to do good by me. The king, he demands too much tribute, if he was only more fair, m’lord would let us keep more of the crops we have harvested. If only King Andrew the III’s nephew had taken the throne in the 9th century instead of that usurper, his half brother.
This fucking peasant

Also the French during the revolution. Then Louis tried to conspire to quash the revolution and get back in charge so they finally gave him the chop.
