Most indigenous American tribes. Numerous central and south american ones as well. Plenty of pre-written history societies show no signs of forced labor or enslavement. Tons of early written societies as well. Currently existing examples include the zapatistas and rojava. They’ve built societies that are t dependent on a capitalist framework to persist. You can throw a rock and hit one.
Edit: sorry for the snark, I didn’t check the usernames before commenting and thought you were the guy who was being an ass. I’ll be happy to dig up some links for you in a new reply. If this is something you’d really like to dive into I can’t recommend David Graeber’s The Dawn of Everything enough. It’s a fantastic read
No offense taken. But I am a bit worries sometimes about the hostility towards people asking questions.
Tbh. So far I mostly read about western, Arab and Asian civilizations and there really aren’t many examples when you go bigger in size of small tribal living.
In my opinion, tribal life is a lot different and naturally more non hierarchial because mostly everybody knows everyone and if you act too selfish you’ll be shunned. From what I read it becomes problematic as soon as the civ reaches a high number of people. Then they tended to get expansionist and hierarchial which resulted in either slaves or prisoners of war with lower social status or some kind of caste system.
I will read into the dawn of everything and the other link you provided on the other thread and am happy for more fodder.
I will be traveling through south America soon and wanna read up upon their ancient history anyway.
Thanks for taking the time to look it up and edit!
