You really believe that someone sat done and constructed civilization as a plan?
My primary concern is the land issue; property? The American Indians had it right in so many ways, they had the truest form of democracy, the least nature destroying footprint, and saw that no man owns this earth we're on, to name but a few of the ways they were, more in keeping with truth, than the invading Europeans.
So you agree with Marx that property is theft and that it should be redistributed or at least owned in common?
I think your view of this noble savage a little naive. You think we should return to this 'democracy' where fifty percent were subservient? Where ones enemies were chattel? You think that if the Indians had not been invaded they would have stayed in their ways? Not changed and developed new methods of production as their population increased? Created new political structures, etc.
There's also a discussion going on about the impact of the Indians ancestors upon the ecology of the time.

The construct of civilization is such that the wrongs of the past are held fast ensuring the 'selfish fools' maintain their property that was stolen from their fellow men and women centuries ago. Additionally, it maintains their base of, would be, slaves through being bound by the terms of the so called civilized construct.
And your solutions?
Everyone wants peace and freedom, but the terms of it's keeping, should have only been put into place, after the wrongs of the past were put right, because now, as I said earlier, the terms of civilized behavior, lock in the status quo of inequality, as you'll never see any of the 'selfish fools,' attempting to right their legacy of wrongs, voluntarily.
And your solutions? As Marx had one but most appeared to not like it.
