How would absolute monarchism or feudalism be feasibly adapted to the modern world? Or more specifically, in what ways could a modern world long-used to democratic republicanism, egalitarianism, and personal legal rights be successfully transplanted into the monarchist/feudalist model? When it began dying out in favor of constitutional aristocracies and later democracies, technological advancement was pre-industrial and heavily reliant on factors such as a mostly agricultural serfdom. Modern corporations trade agreements, industrialization, digitization, legal rights that permeate class barriers, and the enfranchisement of the common worker have more or less gained ubiquity after older feudal models fell out of favor centuries ago, not to mention social progressivism and equal rights. What interests me if how advocates of neo-feudalist politics and economics would suggest adapting the system for the modern era.

For that to work you'd need a largely impoverished and illiterate population that cares little for the functions of government and the separations of powers, and actually believes that Jesus chose certain families to perpetually rule over everyone else

The same way they did into the 20th century. They became executive monarchies and gave people the guise of "democracy" while retaining absolute power for the monarch.

Feudalism would be a tremendous upgrade over ancap.

Modern population is too aware and in past it was far easier to exert control over majority. Many if not most of nobles were warriors.

So now everyone is enlightened and unshackled from their oppressive overlords?
Do you seriously think the nature of people has changed?
In fact I would argue that with the educational institutions and literacy rate that we have now it's far easier to control a population
