Re: Historical Materialism!

I am aware of these theories and ideas but they are ideals.

In a small tribal community you still have rank - a chief. everyone may do their fair share and be provided for but there is still a heirachy. This promotes desire.

e.g. Only chiefs can own the prettist feathers. If a lump of gold is found it is the chiefs etc ....

And to say competition did not exist before trade and agriculture is crap. Never seen two dogs fight over a bone? Human nature is effectively animal instinct - we are a long way from getting around that fact.

No matter how well 'educated' we become we'll not get away from it.

These are my own cynical views of Humanity I'm afraid to say.
