- simonsarris 9y agoThis is identical to a person's "present day" options plus one additional option: New jobs supported by the state. How is adding one more option feudalism?
- alphonsegaston 9y agoBecause the modern American economy with its tenuousness and inequality is already pretty close to feudalism? Without structurally changing anything, you’re just compounding this problem. You can get yourself thrown in prison and have guaranteed housing, healthcare, and a job. That option doesn’t make the dynamics of power in the system any less feudal.
