Individual,

And got their votes ? So what's so unusual about that ? Did he actually break the law in any way ? Did he actually subvert the State ? Did he actually incite thugs to overthrow the democratic system ?

No. Your bum-boy most certainly did. And a cop died.

TTBN,

There are some wonderful writers on feudalism , usually French: March Bloch, his colleagues Lefevre, le Roy de Ladurie, their teacher Henri Pirenne, and their student Fernand Braudel. Simply wonderful people, certainly Bloch who fought as a partisan - at sixty - before being captured by the Nazis - your ideological mates - tortured and shot.

Books on feudalism and who wrote them are totally irrelevant to to this topic. The book that suggests that we could be heading back to a modern version of that system is the one that counts.

But, we cannot expect anyone who has problems understanding picture books and who calls other posters ‘Nazis’ to comprehend that.

loudmouth2,
Most of the things YOU et al whinge about today stem from Whitlam's legacy !

Thanks for the links mhaze and everyones comments.

I suppose we all have our mind-pictures about fellow contributors to OLO - I imagine Misopinionated and Individual sitting on their village wall - one at each end - hurling insults etc. to passers-by, ranting, drooling and occasionally falling off.

Others occasionally come out of their men-caves to rail at the world for not following their 'brilliant' advice, then slink back in.

Others beaver away at the finest detail of their pet subjects, which they occasionally try to explain to us dumb-dumbs.

Then there are others who just seem to have a good time, and plenty of laughing, at some of the bad-tempered, infantile comments of the cave-dwellers.

Then there are others, such as myself, who sit like wise judges, weighing up each position, where possible.

But no, I still don't understand - or frankly care, it's so irrelevant in the modern, fast-changing world - about what neo-feudalism is.

loudmouth2,
You'll find that's commonly referred to as having yourself on !
