Re: Class War (4.00 / 6)
I wouldn't quite call it feudalism or even neo-feudalism. After all, in feudalism the lord had obligations to his serfs. It was a fidelity contract.

When feudalism was finally abolished in Sicily in the 1840's, it created a disenfranchised lumpenproletariat without any means of subsistence. And of course the elite land holders, the Church included, simply refused to register their lands. It's still a mess.
