Except the transitional stage often leads right back to fudalism/oligarchy.
Capitalism is an oligarchy
Somewhat, but democratic capitalism is a whole lot less oligarchical than straight up oligarchy.
Capitalism cannot be democratic. It's better than feudalism, but ultimately serves Capitalists.

Again, how does what you linked connect to what I said?
Lmao, "democratic capitalism". Bro thats socialism.

also 'fudalism' is a funny typo considering this is F.U.D. about socialism and communism
I don't get how what you linked relates to what I said. Could you clarify?
How does that information inform whether the revolution and dictatorship of the proletariat tends to lead to socialism or back to oligarchy.
Name one time when that's happened.
USSR and China
Neither of those countries returned to a feudal system. Where are the nobles, with entrenched legal privileges, with titles passed down on a hereditary basis, commanding their own armies? What a ridiculous claim.
That's why I said /oligarchy. Both became oligarchys.
Feudalism specifically would be more north Korea.
Does North Korea have the noble class I described? Do you have any evidence that such a class exists?
Yeah, it has a king and royal family.
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?
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.
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.
Right, because you're doing zero analysis of the economic or political structures involved and playing fast and loose with terminology.
Because that's what the original meme did. I was trying to fit within it's framework.
Child brain child behavior
They're the largest landholders in the entire country. Holy shit you're fucking dumb.
Does it? Is Oligarchy just when you have a government but no or little Capitalism?
