I just read a part of State and Revolution where Lenin references that a standing army and a bureaucracy are distinct developments of bourgeois revolutions and it made me realize that I don’t know much about how feudal (or semi-feudal) society functioned. I’d much appreciate if anyone could suggest me materials on this topic so I don’t have to just take several European history classes haha
Friedrich Engels, Origin of the Family,Private Property, and the State

I haven’t read it but there is a PDF of the English translation of tbe 1957 textbook of Political Economy by the USSR Academy of Science. You can find it via Googling. It begins with chapters on pre-capitalist economic relations and there is a chapter on feudalism so you can give it a go.
Thanks to comrade @AdversaryOfEmptiness@lemmygrad.ml for telling us about it.
