I. Localized manual labor with the serf working the land for the nobility provided the economic based for feudalism. The primary form of wealth is landed property. The political and social structures were based on monarchy or the King and Queen as ruler with their courts of civil servants and in Europe the Church as a powerful land owner. ^^^^^ CB: The institution of the monarchy marks the transition from feudalism to capitalism. During feudalism proper the secular section of the ruling class is feudal lords ruling feudal manors , self-contained local economic units The nation , with national monarchs, is a bourgeois formation, rooted in a national , capitalist economy. Reply Thanks, but I am not sure what this means for a description of class antagonism and its emergence within the feudal system. More over for two groups of people who have zero understanding of the Marxist approach. Will gladly send you the entire draft by the end of the month. Actually, the draft can be sent today, but the problem is that all the words and terms have not been completed. Further, work takes place on this project everyday with meetings three times a week, squeezed between classes. A draft sent today would be different from the draft being prepared for Monday. Then there is a total of four sections to the glossary. Section one is word and term definitions with narrative. In section one for instance there are four different indexes for the word class. Class, class strata, class as the shape of property and class as a concrete form of labor in different historical eras. Interestingly, the words Trotskyism and Stalinism are not in the text. Nor is there a critique or criticism of the CPUSA or any other group for that matter. More interesting is Section one beings with the American Revolutionary War. Yep. Section Two summarizes all the communist international organizations from the First to th Fourth. Section 3 is Expositions deploying many of the terms in section one Section 4 is literally Marxist catch phrases. Sutff like the philosophers have only interpreted the world in so many ways, the point if to change it. At this writing there is 40 individual pages 4 and 1/4 by 5 and 1/2 or an 6 by eleven sheet folded. We top out at 50. The problem is the rapid transitions in the writings and construction.
