Right, because the way he/she framed it, it described an abuse of any system. It combined systemic (structure of land ownership) with abuse—at mercy of whim.

Whims are by definition abusive.

So, if you need a single word phrase: abuse of power.

Which is what I said originally was what happened at the Philalphia convenience store.

And what my interlocutor tried to shove under the label “feudal.”

Satisfied?
