Definition

Neo-feudal segregation refers to a hypothetical scenario where society reverts back to a feudal system, characterized by a social structure based on inherited social status and the stratification of society into different classes or castes, resulting in segregation based on class or caste.

In this scenario, the ruling class or nobility would have ownership and control over most of the resources, while the lower classes or peasants would have limited access to wealth and opportunities. Segregation would occur when people from different classes or castes are separated from each other in terms of living arrangements, access to education, employment opportunities, and social interactions.

Neo-feudal segregation, if realized, would likely result in a rigid social hierarchy, limited social mobility, and unequal distribution of wealth and power. This scenario could potentially lead to widespread social unrest and inequality, as well as significant challenges in terms of human rights and social justice.
