Except the transitional stage often leads right back to fudalism/oligarchy.

also 'fudalism' is a funny typo considering this is F.U.D. about socialism and communism

I don't get how what you linked relates to what I said. Could you clarify?

the United States expanded the geographic scope of its actions beyond traditional area of operations, Central America and the Caribbean. Significant operations included the United States and United Kingdom–planned 1953 Iranian coup d'état, the 1961 Bay of Pigs Invasion targeting Cuba, and support for the overthrow of Sukarno by General Suharto in Indonesia. In addition, the U.S. has interfered in the national elections of countries, including Italy in 1948,[1] the Philippines in 1953, Japan in the 1950s and 1960s[2][3] Lebanon in 1957,[4] and Russia in 1996.[5] According to one study, the U.S. performed at least 81 overt and covert known interventions in foreign elections during the period 1946–2000.[6] According to another study, the U.S. engaged in 64 covert and six overt attempts at regime change during the Cold War.

How does that information inform whether the revolution and dictatorship of the proletariat tends to lead to socialism or back to oligarchy.

Name one time when that's happened.

Neither of those countries returned to a feudal system. Where are the nobles, with entrenched legal privileges, with titles passed down on a hereditary basis, commanding their own armies? What a ridiculous claim.

That's why I said /oligarchy. Both became oligarchys.

Feudalism specifically would be more north Korea.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 0 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Yeah, it has a king and royal family.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago (1 children)

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?

[–] [email protected] -1 points 3 months ago (2 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 months ago (1 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] -3 points 3 months ago (1 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] -2 points 3 months ago (1 children)

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

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

Does it? Is Oligarchy just when you have a government but no or little Capitalism?
