      Actually, that’s wrong. Developed ancient civilizations (the ones that build roads) used money too. And slavery. And i’m not only talking about ancient Rome or Greece. Mesopotamia, Hindus valley… all of them.

        That’s not ancient enough. Go even way back, where people build for community.

          African tribes? But they were small enough, that top-down ruling worked somewhat.

          Not that this way of living – our instincts are geared to – is wrong. A modern interpretation is federalism, no? Only that the details of what is ruled on which level are often subotimal and the smallest piece usually too big.

        We’re not talking about “pouring concrete” in a literal way though, right? What i take from OP is people don’t express themselves with hard labour work when they can do it with easier stuff, which is completely wrong, because one, people build big stuff for fun all the time, and two, people can and do actually do both.
