The Democrat Cult treats the Taxpayers like they are their slaves.
Serfdom was the status of many
peasants under
feudalism, specifically relating to
manorialism, and similar systems. It was a condition of
debt bondage and
indentured servitude with similarities to and differences from
slavery, which developed during the
Late Antiquity and
Early Middle Ages in Europe and lasted in some countries until the mid-19th century.

Unlike
slaves, serfs could not be bought, sold, or traded individually though they could, depending on the area, be sold together with land. The
kholops in Russia, by contrast, could be traded like regular slaves, could be abused with no rights over their own bodies, could not leave the land they were bound to, and could marry only with their
lord's permission.[

lord of the manor who owned that land. In return, they were entitled to protection, justice, and the right to cultivate certain fields within the manor to maintain their own subsistence. Serfs were often required not only to work on the lord's fields, but also in his mines and forests and to labour to maintain roads. The manor formed the basic unit of feudal society, and the lord of the manor and the
villeins, and to a certain extent the serfs, were bound legally: by taxation in the case of the former, and economically and socially in the latter.
