Neo-feudalism.jpg
An expression of the continuinty of de facto social oppression which survived the transition from feudalism to capitalism, and which is currently experienced by an ever growing global precariat.

Neo-feudalism combines neo- (new) with feudalism, an explicitly hierarchical pre-capitalist social system with minimal social mobility in which social position was inherited. Its reference to a former age challenges the neoconservative official narrative of progress through increased monetisation.

Feudalism

Feudalism was a social system which emphasised inherited privilege and rank, a kind of European version of the Indian caste system. From a historical perspctive this is often portrayed as an oppressive arrangement; phrases such as the "free market", express the contrasting liberation of capitalism implicit in its higher social mobility.
