Link: Theory Discussion A Working Definition of Neofeudalism – New Essay
Editor’s Note: as I’ve mentioned in the recent past, ongoing internet censorship issues and Google de-ranking of left wing content shenanigans have made it necessary to share some of my work across multiple platforms, so I’m posting a link to my latest Patreon blog essay here as well to make it harder to drop the “cone of silence” over my work.
A Working Definition of Neofeudalism
Have you ever had the creeping sensation that you might actually be renting your own life? Welcome to the next stage of dystopian capitalist extraction my friends – the era of modern Pig Empire neofeudalism.
“Often this mechanism to extract wealth from the labor class and deliver it to the private sector will be partially obscured due to the esoteric nature of taxation, government policy and financial instruments; good examples would include things like the privatization of education, outsourcing vast portions of the government (including the military and intelligence branches) to private contractors, Wall Street bailouts, public-private partnerships for infrastructure projects, corporate subsidies for companies that directly attack American labor (like say, Uber, Amazon or Walmart) and the establishment of “pocket colonialism” in the form of de-regulated “special economic zones” where labor laws typically do not apply.”
