    Lol usually I'm the one telling others to read Graeber.

    Here's the thing, that kinda is part of human history. It is how we ended up in the society we live in today. All of these countries exist because they killed or subjugated everyone else who said otherwise.

    Yes, Graeber exposes that other societies have existed and can potentially exist but that doesn't negate the history that led us to today.
