Reply #94: Actually 'you' are right

The more I thought about it the more it became obvious: between the 'hunt and gather' and 'feudalism' stage lay the obvious: the great Roman Empire (amongst others, such as the Egyptians - in the Western Hemisphere). I believe the East (re: China, India, etc) may also differ a bit from the Western progression of the relations of production according to Marx.

I'll have to research how the stage between hunt and gather and feudalism is identified by Marxists.

However, slavery seems common to me among all of them: from chattel property to wage repression.

Your comrade,
