ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Refeudalization

Dear kiddo,

Do you know what a king or a queen is? They are people who ruled over a big group of people many, many years ago. This was called Feudalism, where a king or queen had all the power and everyone else had to obey them.

Now, imagine if this came back today, where only a few people have all the power and everyone has to do what they say. That is called refeudalization.

Basically, some people are worried that our modern society may turn back into one of those times where only a few powerful people control everything, and everyone else has to follow their rules. That doesn't sound very fair and equal now, does it?

So, we need to make sure that everyone has a say in what happens in our world and that power is shared more equally. That's why we have things like democracy, where everyone gets to vote and make decisions, and laws that protect us all.

Hope that helps you understand!
