Does North Korea have the noble class I described? Do you have any evidence that such a class exists?

[-] JohnDClay@sh.itjust.works 8 points 5 months ago

Yeah, it has a king and royal family.

[-] Objection@lemmy.ml 7 points 5 months ago

That's both not true and also not what I asked. The UK has a king and noble family, does that make it a feudal system?

[-] JohnDClay@sh.itjust.works 6 points 5 months ago

Mostly not because they don't have the political power.

[-] Objection@lemmy.ml 7 points 5 months ago

There are other monarchies in the world today that do hold political power. That doesn't mean that they're governing over a feudal system. The noble system I described is one of the defining characteristics of feudalism.

[-] JohnDClay@sh.itjust.works 3 points 5 months ago

Okay, in the oversimplified graphic of the meme, I was including absolute monarchy under feudalism, since I thought it was closer to that than capitalism.

[-] Objection@lemmy.ml 7 points 5 months ago

Right, because you're doing zero analysis of the economic or political structures involved and playing fast and loose with terminology.

[-] JohnDClay@sh.itjust.works 5 points 5 months ago

Because that's what the original meme did. I was trying to fit within it's framework.

Child brain child behavior

They're the largest landholders in the entire country. Holy shit you're fucking dumb.
