  Neofeudalism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Neofeudalism is a pejorative term used by some critics to describe the policies of various right-wing politicians, particularly those in the American Republican Party.
The justification is that government policies are allegedly instituted with the specific intent, or at least the effect, of radically increasing the wealth gap between the rich and the poor while increasing the power of the rich and decreasing the power of the poor (also see wealth condensation).
The argument over neofeudalism is part of the controversy over income redistribution born out of massive societal shifts during the industrial revolution.

 Talk:Neofeudalism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The threat that this conglomeate of twisted, wicked interests presents to our society is quite severe: Left to their own devices, the Corporates will downsize America into a lopsided, coercion economy, and the Goofy Old Men will establish a theocracy.
To apply the term "neofeudalism" to them is utterly appropriate.
In fact, neofeudalism may not be the specific policy of the policymakers; it may simple be an effect of that policy, just as human rights abuses may not have been the intended policy of many who supported apartheid, for instance; it was just the effect of that policy, and we must make that distinction.

Within the confines of a long-lasting neofeudal state, the Japanese commercial economy developed economically profitable nationwide market networks.
In Tokugawa Japan, the strong hegemony of the samurai state was firmly established prior to any thoroughgoing commercialization of the economy.
Accordingly, the shogunate's neofeudal structure constituted formal prescribed networks in the political domain, while ties related to the development of commercial markets represented emerging networks in the economic domain.

And many suspect that the real reason for tax cuts is to provide a back door for the brutal gutting of government in order to create the corporatist dystopian vision of the Vile Right.
Another word for this is neofeudalism, where government caters to the privileged elite, and everyone else exists to serve them.
Evisceration of government results in the destruction of environmental protection, consumer protection, access to health care, quality public education, and social services in general.

Opponents argue that compassionate conservativism is a meaningless phrase.
Some say that it just a mask for neofeudalism.
Many point out that locally-driven "compassion" creates a potential for unequal treatment of similar problems and for local biases to take precedence over general standards.

 Peru POSTINDEPENDENCE DECLINE AND INSTABILITY, 1824-45 - Flags, Maps, Economy, Geography, Climate, Natural Resources, ...
Peru's transition from more than three centuries of colonial rule to nominal independence in 1824 under President BolĂ­var (1824-26) proved torturous and politically destablizing.
Independence did little to alter the fundamental structures of inequality and underdevelopment based on colonialism and Andean neofeudalism.
Essentially, independence represented the transfer of power from the Spanish mainlanders (peninsulares) to sectors of the elite creole class, whose aim was to preserve and enhance their privileged socioeconomic status.

 Time to Remove the Bananas...and Return Our Republic to Democracy
This can be done by bringing back public service and public debate programming requirements, a ban on corporate money in politics and elections (they can't vote, the Founders said, so why are they involved in politics?), and putting in place instant runoff voting (IRV) to widen the political spectrum.
With these steps, We, The People, can bring about a revitalization of democracy in America, and reverse our current slide into banana republic neofeudalism.

While it is clear that free market capitalism leads to better results than neofeudalism in many cases, there are cases where free markets fail.
I don't mean the normal failures like bankruptcy or capital misallocation, but cases where free markets don't even work in theory.
It seems to me that any government intervention should be limited in timeframe so that, as free market solutions emerge, government involvement can sail into the sunset.

It gave them a view of the priesthood as a calling like medicine or the law, with its own special (indeed, divinely ordered) authority and abilities.
Politically, a few Anglo-Catholics flirted with socialism and most inclined to a sort of neofeudalism: in either case the ideal was a society in which "trade" was subordinate.
To the urban poor Anglo-Catholicism offered more tangible attractions: nursing for the sick, food and fuel, solace in times of hardship.

Yes and no. The stuff about turning favelas into property is clearly absurd.
But look at America’s own history of “40 acres and a mule” vs. Latin America’s neofeudalism.
If I remember correctly, a good deal of the problem is that Spanish-based law doesn’t have the concept of “abandonment.” In American law if a property owner doesn’t protect his property (by protesting if a neighbor encroaches, etc) he loses the right to the property.

I have only been discussing 19th century Mexico, and the linkage between caudillism and the demand for autonomy in a federalist institutional context.
It is very different from, say, 19th century Venezuela, where federalism is often interpreted as merely a ploy to guarantee caudillos and local landowners their power, a political structure to uphold neofeudalism.
Or from Colombia, where federalism is sometimes seen as a system that granted power to the states in order to deny power to the municipal level.

 The Vance Phile: Issue #1, March 1993   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
In the SF, however, it creates an interesting tension, a distance between reader and milieu, a sense of the foreign made real to which the adjective exotic does not quite do justice.
Perhaps the best example of this is to be seen in The Dragon Masters, where most of the words appropriate to the neofeudalism of Aerlith are obsolete or archaic (fugleman, armamentarium), while names for the technological devices are plain, dcscriptive English (vision-pane, heat-gun) rather than scientific Greco-Latin.
Aerlith is another low-technology backwater rather than a futuristic gadgeteer's heaven; moreover, this is an ancient future, one with a long history of its own, and the vocabulary emphasizes this mixture of yesterday and tomorrow by invoking our own past.
