It's not "feudalism", it's just capitalism. Everything will be commodified in the end including your feelings and thoughts.

When you no longer have angency or ownership over your own capital, it’s not capitalism, it’s feudalism.

What if, and bare with this simpleton (me), that capitalism leads to a type of feudalism?

Capitalism and feudalism are parallel systems. Just the type of capital is different. In feudalism it is land. In capitalism it is in addition say machinery and "intellectual product". Well also not being tided to some feudal lord legally. But try to become nationless and see how easy that is now...
