Feudalism never ceased to exist, it just rebranded itself in Capitalism, Communism, Socialism, Fascism, or Democracy (whatever that means, each country with it's own definition) and as long as we have a feudal banking system globally, a feudal corporate model globally, and feudalistic aberrations as political parties worldwide, nothing changed, feudalism with smart phones is still feudalism.
Everybody is born with unlimited rights from God Almighty, and everybody's unlimited rights trample on everybody elses unlimited rights, so everybody takes as much as they can for their own benefit untill there is nothing left out there to take.
Here is where the state steps in and curtails your rights together with anybody elses rights to keep social coehesion and keep you all form murdering eachother. Tey get the absolute right to murder somebody to "protect society" from... whatever they come up with, real or immaginary, mostly immaginary.
It started in antyiquity with the city states, than into kingdom states that fought eachother on resources, the main resource being the slaves and farmers to breed them more slaves and farmers and soldiers, and to put bread on the table.
Than the Empires started to come through, the larger the better, same logic, bigger scale. And bigger scope, continental sized scope.
But the logic never changed, I am the state (with my group of assasins) I give you your feud to administrate, inherit, pass forward, but never actually own, and you obey and make my slaves produce. And pay taxes, in coins, food and children.
Because those that administrate and share feuds, keep for themselves the best feuds, most lucrative and easy to defend.
But the Feudal state is still... people on top of people (God given right, inherited position, elected rappresentative, etc.) hence unreliable. So here comes some corporation/bank/etc. envoy with a proposal: "State (king, president, first minister, whatever) here is some under the table money, in exchange you give me extra rights from the unlimited rights you took from them suckers, in exchange for as long as I make a killing you get your share under the table, maybe for a few generations to come".
Bottom line, once Feudalism took over, and unlimited rights were confiscated by the few at the top, even if democratically elected, the only way to become free again is to either die, and you are out of their control scheme, or to dizolve thir feudalism into irrelevance and start all over again as Autarchyc horizontal anarchic society, with nobody in charge of nothing, everybody armed to their teeth, training togehter and arresting togehter anyone whom is a threat to the prosperity of the individual and the society itself be it by force or by being cunningly sneaky croocks.
No professional judges, just ad hoc appointed courts, and a jury of their victims, and once condemned, it is the role of the plebes to execute them.
Now that would put a dent in the Devils polical and economic system he is running today on Earth, based on wars, scarcity, secrecy, and circens et panem for the plebes.
