👉 Prefeudalism is a social and political system characterized by the dominance of the powerful against the poor, often through the use of coercion or violence. It originated in medieval Europe as a form of feudal oppression, where landowners used their power to control the lives of their subjects and ensure that they were subservient to them. Prefeudalism is often associated with authoritarian regimes or fascist states, where the government exercises absolute control over its citizens through intimidation, violence, and repression.
