    Aboriginal tribes seem to have a sort-of collectivism. Not exactly sure I could say socialism, but no one owned necessary resources, and with various exceptions, seemed to make sure those who hadn’t committed some egregious wrong to others in their immediate society (that was known). Exploitation still happened and I’m not sure whether the lesser amount of exploration was due to scale, solely, but I’d wager it’s not

      Tons of indigenous societies had straight up slaves dude. Painting indigenous societies with a broad brush is not a good idea. They’re as different as modern societies.

        I never said they didn’t. I never addressed that at all. I addressed collectivism.
