I am having a hard time understanding how capitalism and feudalism form the
dichotomy.

Of course we can go back to feaudalism and some will survive and carry on.
The question is, can something produce value at the level of capitalism in a
form that people rationally accept as desireable.  I doub that can be the
case.  There is no evidence anything else begins to work as well as
capitalism.
