    You liberals seem to be having a hard time understanding what basic words mean… so here. I’ll post the challenge again.

    Find me an example of a state-funded murder-institution dedicated to the protection of private property before the advent of capitalism.

        Not him, but feudalism wasn’t a state sponsored system in the modern sense. There was no bureaucratic, state-funded army or police force enforcing property rights. Each Lord maintained their own. Also, private property didn’t really exist. Land was held in a feif. Feudal institutions were set up to maintain feudal obligations and social order based on land tenure and status or whatever, not to protect private property or markets.
