Feudalism couldn’t survive the increases in technology, the restoration of trade, the competition that arose from trade and especially the decrease in prices and increases in consumption that arose from trade.
If you mean people were happier with the ‘clarity’ of feudalism, then yes that’s right. And yes, the ‘classes’ still exist and ignorance of those classes and their various needs and obligations creates tensions, when restoring class consciousness, rights, responsibilities and inalienations would almost certainly create greater mindfulness and cooperation between classes.
We educate people to believe the falsehood of equality which means at least of the third of the population must interpret itself as failures because they are not able to function under the burden of middle class responsibility. The next third of the population presumes it’s successful only if it achieves upper middle class economic status. So that’s two thirds that are frustrated.
