Oh please. Spare us the shitty history lesson. The state has existed in human history for more than 10,000 years.
The survival and thriving of the human race prior to the establishment of states is incomparable to the last 10,000 years--except to say that they evolved, survived, and propagated the species. They did not thrive.
The human race was hardly shit before it began establishing states in order to organize, centralize, protect, expand, and make its way in the world. Before that? Humans were nothing.
Ten thousand years of history does not qualify as a "recent creation in history" unless you're being really particular about establishing recent on a universal and geological time scale.
Without the creation of states, humanity had and left little to nothing behind. It merely existed. You would not be here if it weren't for the creation of the state.
This is not in any way, shape, or form what socialism would have anyone believe.
- seanmcdirmid 13y agoI wonder if there is a libertarian-minded ant somewhere wanting to rebel against their oppressive colony. States are not unique to human beings.
- foobarbazqux 13y agoThe irony is that the rebel ant needs the colony in order to be a rebel.
- ekianjo 13y agoAnts are not oppressed by their colony. Read the book "Les fourmis" if you want to learn more about how the actually live.
- ekianjo 13y agoHuman history dates way back than 10 000 years ago. So, you are not proving anything with this kind of statement.
- bobwaycott 13y agoDuh. Never said it didn't. I'm guessing you didn't actually read anything I wrote. The choosing of 10,000 years ago was to the earliest known establishment of a state. That was pretty obvious in my comment.
