Egalitarian Society Quotes

“The main take-home lesson from a careful study of nomadic forager partnership societies, re-enforced by the recent Nordic experience, is that humans are capable of living in egalitarian social systems where neither dominates the other, where violence is minimized, and where prosocial cooperation and caring typify social life. This image is not a utopian fantasy but rather a set of potentials, if not inclinations, stemming from our evolutionary heritage.”

“Nature gave the same form to all And warms each one with the same heat Using reason, we follow her inclination To give equal opportunity to our fellow humans Who are our brothers. None should seek felicity To the detriment of his neighbor. Depriving oneself of a pleasure to offer it to others Is the sign of a noble heart And the expression of wisdom. Thus nature and reason go hand in hand And ask us to help one another For the good of all and by common agreement We share In the feast of life.”
