Seriously, I think Marx describes only about a half-dozen of them?
-
Primitive communism
-
[something missing here for Classical Antiquity?]
-
Feudalism
-
Manufacture
-
Factory system
The Classical Antiquity one is just slavery
It’s a typical form of mass slavery that relies on directly conquering land and enslaving its population. The way Europeans did slavery is different in that regard, since it relies less on military expansion and more on commodity trading
They weren’t exactly the same, but they were similar enough that America’s Founding Fathers soyfaced and said “he just like me” and wrapped their new government in the aesthetic of the Roman Republic

the sicko mode of production
Sun is down, freezing cold…
Does contemporary Marxism still consider feudalism to be a unified mode of production? I’ve heard some historians say that there was never such a thing as indivisble feudalism, rather that there were different modes sort of interacting during this time which taken as a whole compose our conception and stereotypes of what feudalism means.
Could China during that time be considered feudal, or is it specifically a western European thing?
Marx had a half-baked idea about an “Asiatic mode of production” that wasn’t quite feudalism. Idk how it differs though.
