If yes then doesn’t it contradict each stages of history being better than the other. Also what is the difference between ancient slave society/state and feudal society/state?

    The Average Roman was either a beneficiary of a slave economy, or an active participant in expanding a vast slaving empire. What would be more important to look at is the life of the average person living in the empire, the vast majority of which were feudal style peasants and slaves being exploited in conquered lands and tributaries.
