MODERATORS
Only Westerners refer to Indigenous as the "original anarchists."
They weren't anarchist.
Some were communal, some had governments and social administration, some had feudal farming systems, others had a rigid and complex social welfare system, etc.
Read 1491 and 1493 by Charles C. Mann.
Both books are great.
Quite complex and advanced civilizations.
They were not "primitivists."
Large cities too.
thanks for the book recs, they're on my list now.
Take them with a grain of salt and remember they're pop sociology for a general audience. They're not bad, just intended for non-specialists.
White Supremacy Confronted is the best Gerald Horne book.
