Kind of a stupid decision to call something pre-currency and pre-codified laws “anarcho communist”.
It’d be like calling something born before animal life “vegan” because it doesn’t eat animals.
Technically correct, maybe, but very much missing the point of the label.
I don’t know if any of the three words “anarcho communist city” are any more than vague approximations when it comes to Çatalhöyük.
how would you describe it? a no street settlement? a roof way village? a gigantic family house?
“Proto-city settlement” is generally what it is referred to as by archaeologists.
And it was as “anarcho communist” as pretty much all other human societies at the time. That was just the state of humanity as a whole at the time as far as we know. Hunter/gatherer groups, small farming settlements, and the occasional larger farming settlement like this one. Hierarchies of power hadn’t become a thing yet.
Listen, strange women lying in ponds distributing swords is no basis for a system of government!
