I'm just saying getting to elect your landlord doesn't necessarily make you any less of a peasant. Feudalism is about property rights of land and democracy is about political representation. They operate on different axes.
Feudalism wouldn't be compatible with capitalism or socialism because they are also about property, so that might be a better choice.
- mempko 7y agoPolitics IS about property and how it gets distributed. For example, the largest creation of private property in history was during the first years of the USSR when the revolutionary government created an immense amount of private farms. When Stalin came to power, he then took them away during collectivization. If that isn't an extreme example of how politics and property are interdependent than I don't know what is. So I think your characterization of politics is wrong.
