I assumed that's what you meant as it was the primary form of monarchy and hierarchy for centuries
early germanic and slavic tribes were not feudal
neither were the Romans
feudalism is a dark ages invention really
Even so, the same issues arise. No popular support. No accountability for the king. With the Turks just outside their walls, the Byzantine elites debated the gender of angels
a) strawman b) I'm talking about the 10th century model, not the late 15th century model
That is not a strawman lol.
Some monarchs sucked
Feudalism was a Jewish trick.
Some republics sucked
@Jacob it's all good lol
At least with a republic, you can theoretically change the leadership if they do poorly
the 10th century model had a lot of popular support
progressive taxes
strong army because of progressive taxes
soldiers and thier families received tax-free lands for service
that they would cultivate
decentralized army into themes enabled quick responses to problems with the empire
Again that's a totally different era when people were content owning small farms and there was ample land to give away but I digress
america has ample land
@DairyMaxx are you NorCal or SoCal?
classes working together, not against
Not unless you're suggesting seizing arable land and redistributing it, we don't. We're already depleting our water with excessive agriculture out west. And most people wouldn't want to just be farmers nor could the economy function if they were
@Freiheit - CA SoCal
Recently changed my @
K
factories can be owned equally by the bourgousie and the working class
When do I get my 2nd interview?
the financial institutions regulated
I was told Nico would be the one giving me the 2nd interview
this would be a stable system. And ik i'm too much of a brainlet to understand all the details of byzantine economics, but there is a reason why the eastern roman empire lasted over 1000 years
Ultimately, the economic system can be adapted to a political system, but the bigger concern is getting a political system people would consider legitimate
I have a question. What improvements can be made to capitalism? Or does capitalism have an inherent flaw that cant be avoided?

Capitalism (as in private ownership) is good, but we need to regulate corporations so that they serve the national interest (eg environmental regulations, trust busting, no porn industry, etc)
I totally agree^
Some regulation is good
>having corporations
capitalism has a fundamental flaw: it relies on a human vice to function. namely greed.
