Not really. Most of societies problems derive from Capitalism. Capitalism is just feudalism by other means.

A small percentage of individuals control more wealth than 99% of the population combined. They have built a legal system that protects them and punishes any who threaten them. They have built a political system that cates to their needs at the expense of all others. They very rarely face anywhere close to the consequences the underclasses face for similar acts.

Within your average company, the worker receives a wage that they had little bargaining power to influence, and once hired, have little to no influence on business decisions. They do not get a Vote, and they do not share in Profits.

When your voice doesn't have any significant influence on Governmental policy or Workplace policy, you're a serf. Homelessness, Housing, Education, Immigration, Gender Equality, Racism, all of these issues are rooted in this hoarding of economic power. And the ruling class has, at every level, ensured that economic power rests in their hands alone.
