Nah, the rules of the tribe were decide by the chief
They are enforced by their cheiftain and enders
Yes, decided arbitrarily by the chief
And his cronies
On their whim
Yes, sounds like a state
Cronies is the wrong word, you mean warriors
Tribalism is a form of social heirachy, not technically a state
Any of you heard of anarcho-Ireland or saga-period Iceland. They were pretty good examples of what ancapistan may look like law-wise. The rulings of a court were decided by an appointed elder and enforced privately
Social hierarchy emerges naturally from human society
There was no state used to catch the bad guy for you
You would usually raise the hue and cry
@AsianMessiah yeah, so that'd be Tribalistic Capitalism then
Or rely on the other men in your tithing
Anarchy is a state of nature so will be based on a hierarchy
That's an oxymoron
Depends on what you really mean by hierarchy
I hope you arent using it the commie way
A hierarchy of leaders / followers
I only use the correct definition of heirachy, and it's not based off privilege
The scale of the hierarchy depends on the technology available
A heirachy is like a set of stairs, and people are either higher of lower
With modern tech it can encompass a whole country
As long as there is no coercion or involuntary payment to the chief, I dont see whats so wrong
Yes, higher or lower in the 'pecking order'
I.e. aristocracy
There is no guarantee that warlords will take over, but being content with the state we have now IS
How would the cheiftain be payed, would they be appointed it while they work their main job, or would it be an elder.
If it was an elder who is unable to work, what would happen?
"As long as there is no coercion or involuntary payment to the chief" <- magical thinking right here
One sec brb
Chieftain tax for sure
It could be negligible though, equating to the adverage wage
With mediaeval tech it can encompass a whole country
Modern tech can encompass the whole world, which is what seems to be happening
Ok so how is it magical thinking? @MuChaDo
"As long as there is no coercion or involuntary payment to the chief" - if the chief is the one who makes the rules, how is this to be guaranteed?
Anarchism doesnt work, never worked, and will undoubtedly end in death as people accumilate power within the system.
individual localised cases are irrelivant since they operated on tribalism
You are stating the itent for a anarchistic system, which is where there are no heirachies
