> In the feudal system of medieval Europe, the king owned almost everything, and everyone else’s property rights depended on their relationship with the king. Peasants lived on land granted by the king to a local lord, and workers didn’t always even own the tools they used for farming or other trades like carpentry and blacksmithing. If the government says I don’t own something, then I don’t own something. I don’t see much practical difference today. Biggest difference I see is that if the people decide they don’t like the leadership anymore, there’s no longer a single person to hold accountable. Modern democracy has created a hydra of corrupt leadership.
