    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.

              Okay, in the oversimplified graphic of the meme, I was including absolute monarchy under feudalism, since I thought it was closer to that than capitalism.
