   @darlingofinana @allison he spoke about Russia in that sense? I thought his (shameful) Asiatic mode of production theory was more based on his misunderstandings of Indian and East Asian cultures

     @jake2 @darlingofinana He did remark on Japan being "the last remaining feudal state", but as far as I remember he never directly applied the comparison mentioned in OP to any state except Russia (and to be honest describing Russia as Asiatic was a parlor game for centuries of 'respectable gentlemen' and intellectuals in the Protestant and Catholic worlds)
