Very true, been touting this for years. The rich tricked the peasantry into helping them take over the aristocracy. Now we have less legal protections than a medieval serf.

Basically. The original bourgeois fighting against the feudal lords basically changed just enough so that they themselves could become lords, or lord like, with no so much care for anyone below thier own class.

You are not alone in believing this.

There are significant differences, but yes, in a way. Class conflict has always been at the core of modern human history, and when the bourgeoisie and Proletariat teamed up against the Aristocracy, Capital was transfered from the hands of the microscopically few to the hands of much more. However, this is an incomplete transfer of power, and as Capital consolidates, it trends back to a form of Feudalism.

I used the term "thinly veiled feudalism" in a college paper or three.

imo its more like: You will own nothing and be miserable
