> Seemingly the only times we haven't had feudal societies coincided with extreme disruption of the economic system
and all the empires that lasted millenia before feudalism emerged
stretching its duration from inception to fall, feudalism lasted around 7 centuries, after the fall of the western roman empire
it's never been the default system throughout history
For comparison Egyptian civilization lived and prospered for more than 30 centuries, not accounting for ancient Egyptian settlements and the long tail of its complete demise.
