Feudalism is based on Chivalry where the Lords have a mutual responsibility to their subjects and serfs.
That’s the theory. However, as the European feudal lords answered to noone but maybe a king or the pope, they could, and did, abuse their absolute power over their serfs. It was literally an honor system where the consent of the governed was frequently ignored until rebellion occurred.
They are not trying to create feudal kingdoms, they are trying to establish little dictatorships.
I could see argument for both sides of that. I lean towards feudalism being the goal as there is an explicit desire for serfdom and rank based upon wealth (even though they seem to ignite the fact that most of their wealth is in investments in the stock market, etc that would become meaningless if the nation-state were to cease to exist).
