You're a fucking dolt if you think I was somehow suggesting what people had in communal, agricultural-based societies was a luxury.
No, it was not a luxury lifestyle. But throughout most agrarian societies, people had guaranteed and immediate access to land and commons. The right of habitation was even anchored in legal institutions, like the Royal Forest Charter in 1217. The fact is, most people didn't want to work for wages; they had everything they needed. And it would have been unthinkable in most agrarian societies that you wouldn't have secure access to the basic necessities needed to survive. Widespread hunger was not nearly as endemic in this mode of production across history. Now, nearly a third of humanity, by more realistic estimates than those used often published, 2 billion people, suffer from hunger.
Peasants in China and India lived twice as long in the late 1700s and 1800s as Europeans who were largely immiserated and crowded into shoddy, dangerous living and working conditions in factories and mines. This trend has largely flipped, however. With the Global North reaping the benefits of today's wealth disparities between centers of production (North) and resource extraction (South).
Over 600 million people in India, now, don't have complete to basic necessities. And around 4.5 billion people, 60% of the world's population, would fall into similar definitions, earning less than 5 dollars a day -- which is a more accurate measure of extreme poverty than the statistical manipulation that the World Bank suggests with their $1.90 poverty line.
So yes, there are more people who are destitute and suffering than ever before. The scale itself is unimaginable and never would have been an everyday reality for the lion share of agricultural societies' history. Sure, medicine and science have brought immense increases in standards of living and improved life expectancy. And peasants did suffer from disease an occasional famine, war, violence.
However, you're dead wrong to say that the everyday life of most people around the world has significantly improved over the last 30 or 40 years.
