The doesn't really counter feudalism though. Perhaps in mentality/ideology, yes, but in practice, it's possible for people to agree to such a system and be content with it. We do it all the time in a capitalist society, except here it's called a "corporation", and the "barons" are called execs of "subsidiary companies".
- hannasanarion 8y agoThe corporation is not a person, and executives do not have privileges and rights greater than any other person by birthright. In a feudal system, you owe tribute to your liege by virtue of the fact that they were born of a higher rank than you and you were born within their demesne. If you don't comply, or if you try to find a different lord, you get killed. Feudal is not another word for economic inequality.
- nercht12 8y ago> The corporation is not a person, and executives do not have privileges and rights greater than any other person by birthright. In theory, but not in practice. Lobbying obviously benefits corporations, as does the socio-economic status that literally lets execs get away with murder. Furthermore, the idea that corporation != literal person doesn't change the fact that the piece of paper is treated as a person in court. > In a feudal system, you owe tribute to your liege by virtue of the fact that they were born of a higher rank than you and you were born within their demesne. If you don't comply, or if you try to find a different lord, you get killed. Ok, so your understanding of feudalism is more comprehensive and definitely more rigid than mine. I'll concede the point here.
