HIeorgia (country)]] and Russia --Timurberk 14:51, 20 January 2006 (UTC)

I have no idea after reading this article and discussion page what the difference was between warlordism and feudalism. After reading the feudalism article, I tried to clarify the distinction. Saying "Historical Science clearly distinguishes" does not really help, since I've never met Historical Science and can't find his writings. Seriously, I would love to see some sources or references on the difference between warlordism and feudalism, perhaps a discussion of how feudalism in the high middle ages in Europe arose from the warlordism of the dark ages at the end of the roman empire.

4 Afghan Warlordism

[edit] What about economical and political warlordism?

This is known to exist in countries like Romania and Bulgaria, where a single entity is known to be distributing jobs and contracts in a given area.

Also, I believe that the USA had a case where a mayor was terorizing a small city and had bodyguards with machine guns and such.

[edit] Move

I think this article should be moved to warlordism, because it would be easier to define the scope based on a (de facto) system of government. I'd like some feedback first. Elle _{vécut heureuse} ^{à jamais} (Be eudaimonic!) 03:08, 29 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] neutrality of China section

We still need citations here, for dating of warlord era and of continuing warlordism. If you see other POV issues, please leave a note here pointing them out specifically.

I'm not sure the game paragraph is useful here - These might be sufficient as See also.Lisamh 01:24, 15 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Afghan Warlordism

This article could significantly benefit from a section on Afghan warlords written by a knowledgable person. Such a section would necessarily include information contained within Opium production in Afghanistan. ~ Rollo44 19:24, 23 January 2007 (UTC)
