You capitalists are profoundly deluded. Your economic system is bad for these reasons:
A land baron deserves all of his great wealth because of the great risk involved in his job. He has to manage an entire region full of serfs and direct the entire economic process. If he fails, there would be total disarray, but since he has not then this system is clearly justified. In exchange the serfs keep some of the food they produce and a hovel. Everybody gains!
Feudalism is a part of human nature. Like a child needs a parent, humans need a baron to control the land while the serfs work the land. It represents an orderly and stable system based upon our real human nature. If we gave this land away to capitalists then serfs would have to wander and find employment and their own new parent. There would be no incentive to work from all this chaos in economic society.
Capitalism and liberal democracy sound nice in theory but can only fail in practice. Have you not heard of the Reign of Terror? Every time capitalism is put into practice it ends up either failing or surviving but producing misery and death.
Feudalism has produced wonders for society and should be celebrated rather than attacked. All your pitchforks, swords, daggers, armor, and horses you own - that was created by the wonder of feudalism. A serf is better off now than they ever were in history through the growing standard of living feudalism provides.
Instead of ending feudalism, it would be smarter to reform and better it. We should concentrate on increasing the amount of grain a serf is allowed to keep while still respecting the hard work, wisdom, and intelligence a baron possesses that entitles them to their riches.
I urge you to reconsider your position. It is just a phase in your youth and you'll see how quickly you'll abandon it.
Long live the King!

If economics were actually scientific then recessions wouldn't happen.
Adam Rivera
You mean if people actually listened to economicists recessions would be less likely. Economicists warned the government and wall street before the 2009 recession occurred, but nobody really wanted to hear it.

That's like saying that if seismology was actually a science that earthquakes wouldn't happen.
Economics is a science of discovery. Nobody sat down one day and DECIDED that price floors reduce quantity produced. Nobody. That wasn't a decision, it was a fact they discovered.
Another thing they discovered is that trying to control an economic system always, always, ALWAYS creates problems, because it is impossible for any actor to have perfect information. The best informed people to make economic choices are the people themselves, because only they have full knowledge of their own situations, and only they can react to events on the ground level in real time.
This is the entire point of a non-interventionist free market system, a thousand people acting for themselves are more efficient than ten people acting for a thousand people. This is why planned economies always lack allocative efficiency.
>M-muh automation Listen. As time goes on, allocative efficiency becomes MORE important, not less. If you can produce everything you need, but you can't get it to the people who need it, that's worse than not being able to produce what you need at all. The free market creates the strongest impetus to meet demands. The free market will continue to exist even in an age of total automation, the only thing that will change will be the currency involved and how people earn it.

Jason Sullivan
This. It's the most stable, resilient, and consistent form of government yet invented.
Also, every other form of government is just "feudalism with a thin veneer of _________." Even if the process for changing the people at the top is different, all the lower levels are still essentially based on a trickle-down of personal loyalty.
Dominic Brooks
>that image That was correct at the time. Feudalism created much more wealth on the whole than the retarded savagery that preceded it, and laid the ground for future political, technological and economic advancements by amassing a surplus of wealth in the hands of an agent or set of agents that could invest it in innovations.
If you don't like the system, leave it and create your own system.

The only unethical thing about Feudalism was being born into an economic arrangement that you couldn't opt out of, at least not without paying.
Dominic Thompson
global oligarchy with crony governments is feudalism too.
Austin Cooper
There is nothing wrong with feudalism
Jason Allen
No its unethical because there is no check against incompetent leaders. + lack of social mobility.
Easton Thompson
Incompetent leaders lead to failed communities or failed states, a new leader will rise.
Nicholas Carter
You know what would go really well with modern day feudalism?
Wide scale distribution and use of small thorium reactors that output a small towns worth of power cheaply. This would allow for water purification as well.
You could have your modern day conveniences without modern day hazards (namely a large federal government)
tell me how much this gets your neurons firing bros

"Incompetent leaders" would be the Lords that firmly believe killing, extortion, forcefully taking land/wealth, just overall being an asshole of a human because >muh I own the land, that makes me above the law

>This. It's the most stable, resilient, and consistent form of government yet invented. Truth. Though not most effecient. So societies developed enough to use other from of government outpace feudalism. But in the age of strife all goes back to feudalism.

Feudalism is savagery and most basic and easy to employ form of government.

I will never get why libcucks unironically think that predatory people won't adapt and find ways to take over any hypothetical government they would try to push.
Especially since all they do is push tearing down governments/systems without a goddamn plan in advance.

There were as many feudalisms as there were kingdoms, French feudalism was much more lax than “german” or english feudalism.
I think it is the only system that makes sense though.

You should think about why people literally died from hunger during famines (but only common people not lords) and why this is not happening today.
Zachary Hill
There was a single famine in the whole of French history, not caused by feudalism, and we had a king who made it so that every peasant would get two poultries a week.
Famine and life expectancy to criticize the systems in the middle ages are fucking retarded.
Christopher Evans
You didn't pay in cash though just shit like farm crops.
If you were extremely good at sewinng, you can pay a year's worth of tax with a well sewn table cloth because sewing used to take a shitload of time back then.
Some people even paid with multiple wax candles.

Lucas Ortiz
Employment in capitalism is a voluntary agreement. If you don't like your job, you can find another. You are able to become a capitalist yourself if you have the ability. You can buy your own house and land.
Serfdom to a feudal lord isn't voluntary. If you don't like what you're doing in your respective fiefdom, it is very unlikely you would be able to easily leave that fiefdom and work for another feudal lord. You are very unlikely to become to a feudal lord if you aren't born to a noble family, even if you have great ability. You cannot become a land owner unless you're a noble.
Benjamin Green

Grayson Russell
That's wrong though, if you or another lord pay for it you could change your allegiance and all serfs could buy their freedom, also you could learn any sort of trade for a fee since a lot of craftsmen made a living from apprenticeship, and competence was often wellrewarded since having good weapons and armors, or serving good food, was a show of status.
Jason Barnes
These rules had extremely variance over countries and time periods. Feudal dependency varied from paying rent to slave status.
Cooper Peterson

Landon Gutierrez
> That's wrong though, if you or another lord pay for it you could change your allegiance and all serfs could buy their freedom
But that's nowhere near as easy as voluntarily switching jobs in a capitalist society. You don't have to pay to quit your job, or ask for your boss' permission.
> you could learn any sort of trade for a fee since a lot of craftsmen made a living from apprenticeship, and competence was often wellrewarded since having good weapons and armors, or serving good food, was a show of status.
Yes, you could attain a higher status with ability, like becoming a middle manager of a large company. But you wouldn't own the company and become a capitalist.
To become a lord yourself, you would have to be granted nobility by somebody like a King. Your fate would ultimately be in their hands. To become a capitalist, you can get there by nothing but your own volition (whether or not that's necessarily easy is another argument.)
Thomas Hughes
What did he mean by this?
Easton Hill
Well yes, I mentioned it previouy, I am only talking from the French perspective, I know that the further east you went the more brutal feudalism was.
