    Then is an absolute monarch capitalist? It is fundamentally a different system to have a state merged with corporation as compared to have them divorced. To deny that is to be intentionally obtuse.

        I didn’t say feudalism. Though I agree, but why is it different from capitalism?

          Feudalism is based on lordship of land, and peasantry paying rent in kind, ie agricultural produce and a portion of their production. Capitalism is based on wage labor and flow of commodities, industrialized production, etc. Feudal farming vs capitalist farming is quite stark, as an example.
