    Probably not, capitalism is unique in that it's a social mode of production that requires a state, immense violence, and vast capitals to grease the wheels.

    Tiny feudal estates can be pretty functional though as long as the peasant class is happy and doesn't want to kill the Lord.

    You can't really have a tiny pocket of capitalism when even a corner store would require integration with 25 different light and heavy industrial supply chains.

        I guess, but those pockets existed with much smaller scale production. There's no profit to be had by small firms when socialist production would have outcompeted them. Also why would workers choose to work for a capitalist for less pay?

        There's also the fact that capitalism and communism are directly antagonistic to each other while feudalism can work alongside capitalism. Hell primitive accumulation and enclosure is the direct doing of feudal lords abandoning the old feudal contracts and choosing to become capitalist.
