 Neo-feudalism  (social system)   | |
|---|---|
| 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.

- Full article:
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.
Usage
The term "neofeudalism" is a disparaging reference to the 21st century globalised social system associated with neoconservatism. It asserts a historical continuity of oppression and highlights the fact that social mobility has declines with the intensification of globalised crony capitalism.
The banner of the Greanville Post includes the text "Did you have enough of neofeudalism yet?"
