The lords are smaller scale, have more of an absolute power, not bound by things like laws and such.
To me, it seems like a repeat of history, we had an anarcho-capitalist society already, but people started to self-organize into larger groups with rules, tradition, processes ⇾ states.
- johngladtj 3y agoSmaller in scale yet more absolute power? Do you think a large and powerful government has less power than a local feudal lord??
- The_Colonel 3y agoYes, large governments have less power over an individual. The president / prime minister can't decide that I deserve to be executed for a traffic offense. A small feudal lord has fewer subjects, but also fewer (no) limits. Nothing preventing him from killing you without repercussions on a whim.
