    The superstructure is built on an economic basis. A certain social system is determined by the social productive forces of the time (this is the fundamental reason, excluding some artificial exceptions).

    In the earliest stages of human beings (the Stone Age), productivity was so low that people often did not have enough to eat. At that time, people worked together and shared food, which could be regarded as a kind of "socialism".

    With the increase of productivity, people have surplus food, so the people who have surplus food slowly form private ownership in order to protect their own things. Thus began to form a slave society (those who possessed the surplus became slave owners, and those who lacked food became slaves in order to get food).

    At the end of the slave age, agricultural civilization developed (iron plows, ox ploughing and other techniques greatly increased agricultural productivity), so people began to develop land. At the same time, those who had opened up the land were desperate to protect their ownership of the new land, and a feudal society began to take shape. Those who own land become landlords, and those who do not have land and have to survive can only work for the landlords.

    With the development of feudal society, the social productive forces were further improved, the birth of workshops, and the development of cottage industries. It was not until "the airport financed and the mechanics contributed" that the rudiments of the production relations of capitalist society were formed. In Europe, mainly due to the outbreak of the Industrial Revolution, industrial productivity developed rapidly and gradually replaced the social dominance of agricultural productivity.

    As a result, in order to achieve a higher social status and protect their own economic interests, the new capitalists slowly developed a capitalist society.

    Then there is the further development of the capitalist productive forces, the highly developed spiritual civilization and quality civilization of the people, the equality of everyone, the public ownership of the means of production, and the formation of socialism (as for whether it can really be realized, hehe, you know. 、、

    The system of a society is related to the productive forces at that time, and the situation of economic development, in the feudal society, most of the resources are in the hands of some people, and it is inevitable for them to control the society and establish a feudal system. In short, it is determined by productivity ... The establishment of the capitalist system lies in the development of capitalism, such as the bourgeois revolution in England, the great revolution in France, and the bourgeois revolution in modern China.

    At that time, China was a self-sufficient small-scale peasant economy and society, and the feudal lords held the economic and political power, so the establishment of a feudal system was inevitable. At the same time, the conditions for the establishment of a capitalist society were not absent at that time, on the one hand, the bourgeoisie was weak and inherently weak, and on the other hand, the natural economy hindered the emergence and development of capitalism, and the development of capitalism was insufficient.

    At that time, the social productive forces had not yet reached that level, and the transition from a slave society to a feudal society had enabled slaves to have personal freedom, the basic contradictions had been alleviated to a certain extent, and the laborers at the lowest level of society had been satisfied.

    The development of human society is the same as the development of productive forces and science and technology. Only when there are electric lights can there be computers, and only when we enter the electrical age can we enter the information age. It is not possible without the accumulation and development of predecessors.

    The establishment of the social system was closely related to the level of productive forces at that time. That is, the economy is the foundation and determines the superstructure.

    No, after the world's last feudal state, Sikkim, was annexed by India in 1972, the feudal system disappeared from the world.

    There are no more feudal monarchies now, but there are still many countries that have adopted capitalist constitutional monarchies, and the Kingdom of Nepal is also a constitutional monarchy.

    The constitutional monarchies of the world are generally considered to have:

    Europe: United Kingdom, Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg, Spain, Andorra, Monaco, Liechtenstein, Vatican City.

    Asia: Japan, Cambodia, Thailand, Nepal, Bhutan, Malaysia, Brunei, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait, Jordan, Oman Africa: Morocco, Lesotho, Eswatini.

    Oceania: Tonga.

    In addition, Australia, Canada, New Zealand, and Tuvalu belong to the Commonwealth of Nations, and although their governors are appointed by the Queen of England and are generally not included in the constitutional monarchies, some scholars believe that they are also considered constitutional monarchies.

    The economic base determines the superstructure. It is the social productive forces that determine the social form, and the relations of production are determined by the productive forces, but they react on the productive forces. It is precisely because the relations of production in feudal society cannot satisfy the development of the productive forces of industrial society that they are replaced by capitalist society.

    The economic basis of feudal society is the private ownership of land by the landlord class, the land is owned by the landlord class, and the peasants have personal freedom, but they have no land, so they can only rent the landlord's land to work and pay a certain amount of income as rent, and the largest landlord class here is the emperor. In feudal society, the productive forces were relatively backward, and the agricultural economy occupied an absolutely dominant position in the social economy, which determined that land became the most decisive means of production in the social economy, and the landlord class who owned the land thus occupied a dominant position.

    The economic basis of capitalist society is the private ownership of the means of production, where land is no longer the decisive factor of the economy, it is one of many means of production, the capitalist owns all the means of production such as capital, and the bankrupt peasants lose their land and have to sell their labor power to live, here they are transformed into the working class, and the capitalists obtain surplus value from the labor of the working class. As a result of the rapid development of the productive forces, society has gradually changed from an agricultural economy to an industrial economy, land is no longer the decisive means of production, and the dominance of the landlords has been shaken, and the bourgeoisie, which has replaced the landlord class, has mastered the means of production other than labor power required for production because it has mastered the resource of capital, because in the commodity economy of capitalist society, capital can be transformed into all resources. In opposition to the bourgeoisie is the working class, which has nothing but labor power and can therefore only sell its labor power to the bourgeoisie, which lacks labor power, in order to move the social economy forward.

    Feudalism was a social system ruled by a monarch, with a hereditary status of nobility and a land-based system. It has been widely present in many countries and regions throughout history.

    The core feature of the feudal system is feudal relations. Under feudalism, the monarch granted land and power to the nobility in return for their allegiance. The nobility became feudal lords, administering the land and ruling over the inhabitants.

    The feudal lords then distributed the land to peasants, serfs, or tenants for their limbs and labor and taxes. This land distribution and hierarchy formed social classes, with the nobility enjoying a privileged position in society.

    Feudalism also included the relationship between feudal contracts and personal dependence. A contractual relationship was established between the nobility and the peasantry, and the peasant group acted as tenants, providing labor and part of the output to the nobility, while enjoying the protection of the nobility. The peasants had hereditary obligations to the nobility and had to obey the orders and demands of the nobility.

    Under feudalism, political, economic, and social power was highly concentrated in the hands of the nobility and monarchs, while the status of the common people was relatively low. The hereditary mechanism of land rights and identity solidifies social classes and restricts the freedom and mobility of individuals. To a certain extent, the feudal system inhibited the development and progress of society and limited the development of productive forces.

    Feudalism differed in different historical periods and geographical regions, but its common features were aristocratic rule and a hierarchical system of land base. Feudalism has played an important role in the history of countries, but with the passage of time and social changes, many countries have gradually abolished feudalism and transitioned towards a more modern and egalitarian system.

    Feudalism: In a slave society, it was a feudal state, that is, a feudal system.

    In feudal society, it refers to a social system based on the feudal landlord class taking possession of land and exploiting the surplus labor of peasants (or serfs). Its basic form of exploitation was feudal rent, in which the peasants (or serfs) cultivated most of the products of the feudal landlords' land were deprived of them as rent.

    The superstructure was mainly a feudal state characterized by a hierarchical system. The dominant ideology is to maintain the feudal exploitation system and feudal hierarchy and to propagate feudal morality. Under feudalism, the basic antagonistic classes of society were the landlord class and the peasant (or serf) class.
