For the study of Marxism, and all the tendencies that fall beneath it.

Read Lenin.

Seriously, I think Marx describes only about a half-dozen of them?

  • Primitive communism

  • [something missing here for Classical Antiquity?]

  • Feudalism

  • Manufacture

  • Factory system

Does contemporary Marxism still consider feudalism to be a unified mode of production? I've heard some historians say that there was never such a thing as indivisble feudalism, rather that there were different modes sort of interacting during this time which taken as a whole compose our conception and stereotypes of what feudalism means.

Could China during that time be considered feudal, or is it specifically a western European thing?

Marx had a half-baked idea about an “Asiatic mode of production” that wasn’t quite feudalism. Idk how it differs though.
