Yeah, it has a king and royal family.

[-] Objection@lemmy.ml 4 points 3 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 -2 points 3 months ago

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

[-] Objection@lemmy.ml 5 points 3 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.

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.
