    Mostly not because they don’t have the political power.

      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.

          Right, because you’re doing zero analysis of the economic or political structures involved and playing fast and loose with terminology.
