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.
