It isn't. The Russian transformation under Stalin from a feodalist
society with wooden plows to atomic bombs and space travel is. Most
capitalist politicians are reluctant to admit this, but e.g. Churchill
recognized this. A comboy on horse back who has ever seen a revolver
is a far cry in backwardness from a feodalist peasant who *expects* to
be flogged by a knut. Feodalism goes to the brain, like slavery does.
(It took generations for the US negroes to shed of their slavery
inheritance. )
