Quote from: RE on Oct 12, 2026, 02:07 PMMeso-American cultures were more like the Egyptian or Sumerian civilizations. They weren't H-Gs.Ok. So...I will grant that sub Dunbars number folks can easily be the type of socialist that you and K-Dog seem to think is possible above Dunbar's numbers.
Is the Nordic example of capitalism the best example of the "socialism" that you and K-Dog think will work? Or do you have an example from somewhere in the past half a millenia or so you would prefer, Dunbar number plus of course.
Quote from: REThe fact there were conflicts between tribes is irrelevant. This discussion is about how the tribe takes care of its own members.

Fine. I will grant that sub-Dunbar number tribes of yore can be happily socialist. Until some larger than Dunbars numbers plus gang comes along, kills and/or enslaves them nd takes their stuff anyway.
Humans naturally build Dunbar Number PLUS civilizations. Do you have an example of a socialist culture/society sometime in the last 500 years that fits you and K-Dogs criteria as actual socialist, as compared to capitalist socialist like the Nordic model? Is there a better example than the Capitalist Nordic example?
