>>2821673There never have been feudal societies. Feudalism is a myth. It never existed and was cooked up by 18th century writers to malign the medieval past. There was never such a thing as a feudal system, even in Europe.
>>2821704>Pockets in Peru, bolivia, guatemala, Chiapas mexico, have haciendas.Resemble European manorialism, but there's no serfdom and they are also aimed at cultivating cash crops for a global market.
>In the sahel, Ethiopia, and west african states there are also bonded labour and hereditary lords,Sahelian states were tributary systems and also relied on slavery, they didn't have a European style landed aristocracy and still don't. Much of the Sahel remains nomadic or semi-nomadic.
>India still has zamindars that own large swaths of land that own debt slavesIn Mughal India, zamindars were revenue collectors who collected taxes in kind and used them to provide services to the local community and to the Emperor. Zamindars didn't own any land because all land legally belonged to the Emperor, who in theory appointed zamindars to districts on a rotating basis. There was no serf class and zamindars couldn't compel peasants to do anything. It was the British who turned zamindars into large scale landowners and in any case the system was legally abolished in India in the 70s, although zamindars and their descendants remain private landowners.
>probably most feudal of all, afganistanThis is just sillly. Afghanistan is dominated by large tribes structured according to segementary lineage system. These tribes don't have chiefs or leaders, they settle their disputes through councils, and while they have "kings" they don't really have any legal authority and ordinary people don't have to follow them. Land is seen as the collective property of a kin group, not just an individual owner. There are no serfs, no landed aristocracy.
