Kind of defeatist and ignores pre agricultural humans.

Also, even after agriculture, not all humans lived under empires or tyrants, that eventually spread everywhere but for a long time it was a spectrum.

All government is tyranny.

No government is the best government.

Good luck protecting your resources from your neighbor-- hope they like to share!

Good luck learning something.

And why do you have two accounts on the same instance made at the same time?

Sure, in a perfect world with no bad actors, there would not need to be oversight.

Does anarchy answer how to protect those who have no means of self defence?

[-] rockerface@lemmy.cafe 4 points 6 days ago

There already is no oversight. The people causing the most harm and suffering are running unchecked and our means of self defense against them are deemed punishable by law.

Anarchy does not say to be pacifists and not defend, it says to give the means of defence to the community.

If I rob you and your boss doesnt tell you stop me will you just stand there?

No evidence of precolonial tyranny here in Australia.

Customary law is vast and varied, it featured horrible practices such as young child girls being arranged to marry old men, enforcing binary gender role divisions “women’s business” or “men’s business”, and rulership by age and by having rulers not being anarchist.

Ultimately it was a patriarchal gerontocracy, that is tyranny.
