    American Slavery and Russian Serfdom.

    A very interesting book.


    These were two systems of Unfreedom. American Slavery was more brutal for those enslaved. American slaves had work obligations about 3 times as high as Russian serfs. Russian Serfdom was more extensive. In USA 1790, about 18% of population was enslaved. In Russia, 50% of population was enserfed.


    In America, African people were enslaved. In Russia and East Europe, serfs and nobles belonged to the same ethnos. In Russia and East Europe, nobles were small minorities. They lost their property during Socialist Revolutions.
    Progressives are Passionate about establishing Totalitarian Tyranny.

    Conservatives are Apathetic about maintaining a Free Society.

    What were obligations of serfs? About 50% of serfs had work obligations -- considerably lower then those of American slaves. About 40% of serfs only paid extra taxes. About 10% of serfs were domestic servants -- they were in fact slaves.
