I really like Ursula K. Le Guin as an author and her philosophical perspectives.
This is one of my favourite quotes OAT…

Wouldn’t it just be easier to genetically re-engineer ourselves from scratch to better conform with the will of our masters? Or at least a little eugenics? Oh! Have you ever read the ‘red rising’ series? That seems pretty cool. Why not shoot for that?

This is either making fun of Winston Churchill’s quote “democracy is the worst form of Government except all those other forms that have been tried.”, or of the idiom that came from it “It’s not perfect but it’s the best we got” and is frequently used to defend capitalism
I think feudalism is supposed to be feudalism in this meme. I do not think this is supposed to be an analogy at all. Just a “demonstration” of how non-sensical the “this is the best it will ever be” mentality is.
