Actually this thread in general is a pretty interesting one, people really calling the sub on their BS
the idea that no modern society has not functioned without police is absurd, plenty of European nations did…
Also, it is a very intentional choice to ignore non-nation-state societies. Which is no surprise. It’s part of the liberal strategy to pretend you cannot have human society without a violently oppressive institution dictating 99% of your living conditions and aiming them all toward the support and protection of capitalism.
It’s almost a tautology, in a world where capitalism is globally ubiquitous: I’m going to ignore societies that don’t have police in order to pretend that societies cannot exist without the police.
