    How do you know it’s “due to slavery and violence” rather then “despite slavery and violence”? It seems more likely to me that civilisation is rooted in cooperation and solidarity, while slavery and violence is a cancer that grows on top of it, and hurts almost everyone involved.

      List an example of a civilization that was not build by force and labour extraction from the under class.

      Cooperation was achieved at a gun point. There is no solidarity even in communist regimes.
