thanks for reading the book! It is spot on from the perspective of white dominator culture and the struggle for individual freedom.

You touched on ancient culture. That ancient culture is still alive here on this continent. They aren't individualists or authoritarians. They have nations, borders, government and voting and it hasn't deteriorated into tyranny over 1000 years because it is based on the consent of the people.

"thanks for reading the book! It is spot on from the perspective of white dominator culture and the struggle for individual freedom."

Well I don't take that as a compliment, but ok. I am not white nor am I a dominator. Of course, my view is unique and not the same as someone who grew up on the rez, but this is not a colonizer mindset we are sharing in this book. It's not an explicitly native perspective either. 

You are correct that native and ancient traditions are still alive. Unfortunately, what we have now on reservations and with tribal government is not representative of what our traditions were in the past. There is much corruption in tribal government, many natives turning away from their own traditions towards christianity and a generally western "white" lifestyle. It's sad. But there are those trying to keep those traditions (at least the spiritual traditions) alive, but unfortunately there aren't many practicing our past indigenous form of governance in the U.S.. At least not to the extent we have seen with the Zapatistas and in Cheran.

I wasn't saying you are white or a dominator, or that the book is a colonizer mindset. I meant that the whole history of individualist anarchism happened within the context of white dominator culture. I had a DNA test because I'm adopted, I'm 99.5% European. I'm whiter than most white supremacists.

General statements like what we have now on reservations and with tribal government is not representative of what our traditions were in the past, dismiss the ones that still keep their traditions of government alive. The ones that don't didn't devolve because of the principals of their government, it was because they were colonized. That doesn't effect the principals. Imo a philosophy that endured in practice for at least 1000 years holds at least as much weight, or probably more, than a philosophy that is a logical theory.


Nothing in this world is black or white. Imo it is a mistake to equate government with control just like it is a mistake to equate guns with murder.
