When being accused of bigotry, it's never a good sign to use "social serfdom number" in your post mortem.

That's just some shit that ancaps like to say. Also note the constant references to fiat currency. I don't think he was actually being racist with that.

I agree, I don't think "serfdom" is racist, but it doesn't shine a good light on you to use, and erodes the trust people put in you by default.
