Let's just content ourselves with the fact that the trend has been towards egalitarianism for a long time, then. The trend has been towards more compassionate societies, how they work and upon whom is always moot, but they are not egalitarian and never will be in the strict sense of the word. It's the thought that counts, Sandy. |

They did work. They worked for 95% of the time mankind has been on this earth. Societal structure changed when material conditions changed. There is no reason to believe societal structures won't change again if material conditions change again. Let's hope it's for the better this better time. Unequal societies do thrive. You won't get any argument there. But they tend to 'thrive' for a small number. But they worked, and it is not known to what degree, in a time of sparse human habitation and we know not what their relationship was with other bands/tribes/kin groups close by. They have not been able to exist as the population increased beyond the Neolithic. We are looking for systems that meet the needs of the modern world and not work only in teh stone age. Although some would say that is exactly where net zero will deposit us. Sigh! It's Christmas. I'm too drunk to care! |
