    Oh I see. So you’re now just claiming it’s impossible for people to get out of oppression? We must forever be under the yoke of capital?

    Plenty of evidence indicates societies have, many times, managed to exist without state or hierarchy.

    So no, not impossible. It just has to be done without hierarchy and state. If it has those, it’s not communism.

    If you want to engage in this conversation honestly, your next move is to prove it is impossible to live without hierarchy :)

      Yes, prehistoric societies have existed without a state… Wonder why it stopped being that way

      Also, capitalism is extremely recent, yet you claim it has existed since fucking antiquity

      Whatever, you fuckers are even worse than Jehovah’s witnesses

        Do you really wonder? Because there are answers to that, easily found. States are created by authoritarians who wish to have control over others.

        And I think you oight to go back to reading children’s books, because I never said capitalism existed in antiquity.

        You’re making this too easy now by just lying.

            Lmao don’t be so fucking naive. The people can raise a militia by themselves. This is no foreign concept to humanity.

                …ok? So, you haven’t managed to prove a state is necessary to protect yourself. You haven’t even proved that “raiders” even exist outside of a Civilization game.

                  Do you want me to show you written accounts of prehistoric settlements? Well, worry not, that problem persisted well into the invention of writing, as there are mesopotamian accounts of either mountain or desert nomadic raiders
