That makes sense, but i think there's bleed over to libs using it as "capitalism was great, but now its tech feudalism." The same way they used corporatism and crony capitalism to act like its a deviation from their platonic ideal of capitalism that they're sure totally existed once but not now
There will be bleed over with any term into liberals making excuses for capitalism. They manage to do it even with terms like intersectionality.
I don't think that fact precludes the usefulness of of the tech capitalists desire to create a dependent working class in a closed and controlled system.
That's fair. I don't think it necessarily precludes it from being useful. Its just something I've heard libs throwing around and was annoyed by, so im just kind of venting

That, too, is fair
I still think “techno feudalism” is a misleading term that is a great tool for revisionists and liberals.
