Anarchism is a social movement that seeks liberation from oppressive systems of control including but not limited to the state, capitalism, racism, sexism, speciesism, and religion. Anarchists advocate a self-managed, classless, stateless society without borders, bosses, or rulers where everyone takes collective responsibility for the health and prosperity of themselves and the environment.

phylogenetically "human" does not specifically refer to homo sapiens, but the 'homo' genus as a whole

[–] GalaxyBrain@hexbear.net 11 points 11 months ago (1 children)

So we're going to include the entire genus when discussing social formations? That seems uselessly broad

[–] thethirdgracchi@hexbear.net 10 points 11 months ago

Many different species of the homo genus adopted the same "technology set" of the Acheulean stone making packet, including Homo erectus, Neanderthals, and other early archaic human species. That's a widespread tool set that probably resulted in similar social formations across different human species, and we have lots of archeological evidence for this tool set. Given that such technology is shared across species, I don't think it's uselessly broad to assume there was also shared social formations.

Yeah "human" society, with tool making, kin networks, mobile bands of hunters creating stories, painting, all that stuff predates homo sapiens.

And is present it other species. So should we start forming our political opinions around what crows do?

Sorry to be a nerd, but 'human' has no scientific definition and therefore is completely arbitrary
