        Neither of those countries returned to a feudal system. Where are the nobles, with entrenched legal privileges, with titles passed down on a hereditary basis, commanding their own armies? What a ridiculous claim.

            Does North Korea have the noble class I described? Do you have any evidence that such a class exists?

                That’s both not true and also not what I asked. The UK has a king and noble family, does that make it a feudal system?

                    There are other monarchies in the world today that do hold political power. That doesn’t mean that they’re governing over a feudal system. The noble system I described is one of the defining characteristics of feudalism.
