yeah it is quite literally the oldest trick in the book and the origination of class society
I'd argue that animal husbandry was the start, but that's definitely the origin of the First Estate
yeah maybe so, I feel like people were practicing animal husbandry under primitive communism though right? I would assume the first instance of having a class divide socially would have required a religious concept to justify it
