In Marxism, Capitalism was viewed as an extension of feudalism...just a new way to keep the peasants down...

Capitalism was considered 'evil' for this very reason.

Marx advocated a general uprising so that the peasants could overtake their feudal masters...which they considered capitalists to be...

The reason why Marx said capitalism was the same as feudalism is because they are both class societies and people of different classes are not equal.

>>Capitalism was considered 'evil' for this very reason.

Capitalism was considered 'evil' because there were still ranks and classes in the society.

>>Marx advocated a general uprising so that the peasants could overtake their feudal masters...which they considered capitalists to be...

Marx's research was mainly focused on the workers, not peasants. I don't think Marxism is the theory to solve the problems in feudalism because Marx said the anti-feudalism was the task for capitalists.
