Welcome to Episode 10, where we explore Section 9 of Engels’ Origin of the Family, Private Property, and the State, tracing the transformation from gentile society to early civilization.
In this episode, we delve into the economic and social changes marking the upper stage of barbarism that led to the breakdown of kinship-based societies. We examine how the rise of pastoralism and agriculture sparked increased production, the first division of labor, and the emergence of slavery. The separation of handicrafts from agriculture, along with the rise of trade and metallic money, fueled private property and sharpened class divisions. Ultimately, we explore how these developments gave rise to the state as a necessary institution to manage class antagonisms, replacing the older gentile system. Join us as we uncover the foundations of civilization and class society.
