    We’re talking about how not all conditions are the same, you can’t just discard some conditions because they differ from the point you’re trying to make. Some miners have it really good inside a capitalist system, same as some might’ve had it good under feodalist system.

      I am not discarding anything. There simply was no feudalist model of resource extraction analogous to the one that has been driving the mining industry in the capitalist era. The well-paid shift boss in a mine in Australia and the poorly-paid rock-drill-operator in South Africa is working under the same capitalist mode of production.

      This was not the case under feudalism.

      So again… you’re comparing apples to oranges.

        You’re complaining about painting all feodalism era mining as brutal and hazardous while painting all mining under capitalism as brutal and hazardous. It just seems funny
