Depending on the specifics, there may or may not be difference. Any number of monarchs have sided with the commoners against the nobility, despite being nominally of the nobility themselves.

This seems to be a popular ideal in a lot of fiction written in the US, too...

That's just because of incompetence. It was shown early on that slaves can be rewarded succesfully, at least in cases where slaves could own stuff (like money; and eventually buy themselves and thus become freemen) like it was at some point in Rome.

Any number of innovations were made by (then) slaves.

It's quite another thing why this became uncommon.

So? Isn't that what most merchants still do? And corporate sales organizations too, if you look at it that way...

See above, the lack of an incentive is a separate issue in its own right, slavery by itself is neither required nor sufficient to cause such circumstances to occur.

The lack of incentive, yes.

Duh, I'm sort of trying to oppose the concept that compebreastive sports would be anything like as important as they're made to be nowadays... or in old Rome for that matter.

The Czar who started to reform the mess was in the 1600s. Took a while for the revolution to get started.

Well, that would have been after the Red Revolution ...

No, it didn't; it made it easier for peons to gain capital to invest in stuff, up to and including machine tools. The preventation from taking part in the industrial revolution was in not being able to hire help from outside the immediate family, during the Soviet rule - that is, inability to act as brokers for someone else's work, in a sense ...

And the brokers are the ones who have to provide much of the incentives to perform better. This was a monopoly of the state in the Soviet system, and the state failed in it.

Well, yes, Peter the Great's reforms haven't yet really caught on..?
