Each day the adult men of a town would gather to spend much of the day arguing about politics, in a spirit of rational debate, in conversations punctuated by the smoking of tobacco and drinking of caffeinated beverages.

David Graeber, David Wengrow:
AnfÀnge
Eine neue Geschichte der Menschheit
David Graeber und David Wengrow entfalten in ihrer Menschheitsgeschichte, wie sich die AnfĂ€nge unserer Zivilisation mit der Zukunft der Menschheit neu denken und verbinden lĂ€sst. Ăber Jahrtausende hinweg, lange vor der AufklĂ€rung, wurde schon jede erdenkliche Form sozialer Organisation erfunden und nach Freiheit, Wissen und GlĂŒck gestrebt. Graeber und Wengrow zeigen, wie stark die indigene Perspektive das westliche Denken beeinflusst hat und wie wichtig ihre RĂŒckgewinnung ist. Lebendig und ĂŒberzeugend ermuntern sie uns, mutiger und entschiedener fĂŒr eine andere Zukunft der Menschheit einzutreten und sie durch unser Handeln zu verĂ€ndern.

Review: The Dawn of Everything
After reading a few Marxist criticisms of Graeber and Wengrow's book, I decided to take a look because if something displeases a Marxist, it will surely make me laugh.

âWhen people ask me what sorts of organization could exist in an anarchist society, I always answer: any form of organization one can imagine, and probably many we presently canât, with only one provisoâthey would be limited to ones that could exist without anyone having the ability, at any point, to call on armed men to show up and say âI donât care what you have to say about this; shut up and do what youâre told.ââ
