Why do some people insist that Feudalism is a ‘natural’ form of government when the majority of states, especially early states were either city-states or administrative states?
>>18421332What about states that resemble feudal societies?
>>18421332I think it's people confusing Feudalism for Monarchism in general. Feudalism couldn't really emerge "naturally", it requires a hierarchical system that promised the Serfs protection in exchange for labor for the Landed Gentry that were given wealth in exchange for loyalty of the crown. Every Feudal system was a monarchy but not every monarchy was feudal.
