It’s always been that way in one form or another. Whether it was king system, capitalist and yes even communist though communism is/was an attempt to even it out somewhat.

Bringing the game discussion in. The King would not be really successful if he didn’t have all the archers and swordsman weren’t there to fight, or the farmers to produce the food and tradesman to make the weapons.

No man or woman is an island and no one does anything without other people being involved somehow, regardless of what individual perceptions might be. I think recognition of that point is all Cordell is after. Humans are social creatures and unless one is living out in the bush all by themselves then it is a communal affair. That’s not ‘communism’ that’s just basic human social reality.

Crap there was this one book written by Ursula K. Gin, I think its the Disposessed, about a Utopian anarchist society created on a moon of a planet that’s basically a model for our society. The “Utopian Society” starts to model our own society with a “collective” that still starts to govern in a way that feels oppressive.
