Questions about chiefdoms(government)
Hi, Are chiefdoms Irrelevant and a archeological delusion? Are chiefdoms the same thing as tyranny's? or a different type of government separate from tyranny?

Hi, I cant post the link due to the 30/30 rule here. Sure I could google but I don't trust alot of the information out there as it might not be reliable and/or false with possibly people that don't know what there talking about so I would rather listen to sound sources, go straight to the horses mouth, professionals and people in the know. I came here also for a second voice on the questions to get to the truth of the matter as I consider atheists in general to be honest people and compare answers from the history forum(not on here) to see if there the same. If there not well then somethings not right espeasaclly If the answers are contradictions.

RE: Questions about chiefdoms(government)
A chiefdom is a kin based aristocracy. Tyranny is an adjective, not a form of political organization. It describes a state of affairs which might refer to more than one form of government.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

Your epistemology has some problems.

I think chiefdom might be a pre historic Neolithic government in Neolithic society's or civilizations with a counsel of elders but with a leader who is also part of the counsel, he is the head spokesman of a tribe. this predates tyranny, despots or dictatorships and before monarchies

RE: Questions about chiefdoms(government)
Chiefdoms persist to this day, and persist as an artifact of family organization in countries like ours.

As far as evidence for neolithic cheifdoms, we wonder about the richness of particular burials and even more so about their being left undisturbed by people who knew where they were and had plenty of need for the funerary items. The notion is that we're looking at a person who was empowered to effect the redistribution of agricultural excess or prestige goods. There have probably been more chiefs loved by their tribe than not. The intimacy and proximity of the relationship means that a tribal chief has more to worry about from his people than a representative body 900 miles away.
