Rosegyro, again we seem to agree, although your prose is a bit obtuse. See? I do it to, although I try to express myself in simpler terms.
As to Gonzo, you speak to part of my search; that is , to find a system of social; organization without Tyrant type hierarchy. So far, Native American, generally, not all, seems to be the way to go. Why? And here is the difficulty: After 10,000 years of living on Earth in a natural way, relations were adapted to observable natural phenomena. The Aztecs were an obvious aberration. High civilization, religion led to superstitious misery. If you will indulge me a Biblical reference; Romans 1:20, '...his power perceived in the things made..' Get it? The organization and the function of nature inform how to do things. That's why city folk are so often neurotic, cut off from natural relations, seeing only man-made reality which is surely , ah what's the word, relative reality maybe.
So, 10,000 years of evolution to reach a rather harmonious ( see Pueblo) relations, not to mention weeding out diseases, until the Europeans brought new ones. Some Indigenous writers call it an Alien Invasion. As a Sci-Fi fan that hits home with me. Maybe that's where War of the Worlds came from.
