And of course, the progressive changes from slavery to freedom in Europe was caused by the political involvment(in the form of revolts, mostly) of those sasaki proposes should have no say - and those he wants ruling the country fought tooth and nail to prevent people gaining freedom.

Fascism in a nutshell.

We owe our freedoms not to the efforts of the educated and superior, but to the blood shed by the ignorant and downtrodden.
Maybe you need to read some more English history?

Serfdom was on the way out by the 1340's, after the Plague. At the same time, there was increasingly freedom and literacy among the rural farming classes, and the urban population were essentially free because within the city it was the Guilds and the Burgesses that held power, not the King.

Even before that, English serfdom was not Russian serfdom, for starters they didn't work on feast days and saints days - take a look at a medieval liturgical calendar, the average English serf worked less than a modern wage-slave.

What's this rubbish about wanting to turn England into a "Hellhole"? More Marxist drivle - Marx was wrong, he read back the present into history rather than reading history to understand the present. I find the charactarisation of medieval Europe to be professionally offensive.

It was not that bad, life has never been that bad. It's a fantasy that people like to scare themselves with, as though medieval magnates were always violent, brutal sociopaths. Frankly, I think such historical fictions say more about the characters of the people who believe them than they do about the past or the present in general.
