Free your mind from garbage! Part 1

Let's see what is really with these postulates that politicians, thinkers and other people who actively participate in the formation of world trends operate on.

At the dawn of mankind, people lived in primitive dwellings and individually tried to get their own food and build their way of life.
In order to survive in that world, they needed consolidation, in addition, people had to protect themselves from other people.
And naturally, the clan became the main cell of that time, and close clans formed a tribe.
The more people became, the greater was the density of residence and the greater were the tribal formations.
A social hierarchy was needed. Leaders and persons who were especially significant in the life of the group appeared.
And the ordinary members of the tribe had a division of labor.
People have noticed that some people are better at something than others. Someone is better at hunting, and someone is better at making things. It is easier for men to do something that requires a lot of effort. Women coped better with monotonous work.
The total product of labor was higher when everyone was doing what he did best.

With a nomadic or semi-nomadic nature of life, and even a sedentary one with a low population density, it took a lot of effort and time to exchange the products of labor, and often the owner of the product at the time of the visit could not be found.
There was a need for people who were in one place and offered at home a wide selection of other people's products of labor. This is how merchants appeared.
And then logically came the idea of the measure of labor. For different products of labor, at different times and according to circumstances, stand differently in relation to other products. It wasn't crops that increased the cost of food, fires increased the cost of timber, fighting increased the need for clubs and spears. In summer or winter, the ratio also changed.
Money appeared.
For example shells, beads. Or something safe, but rare. Copper, silver, gold.

And in social relations there were people who did not want to waste time and effort for the production of labor products, but simply robbed, raped and killed.
This immediately gave support to people who did not want to be ordinary producers of individual labor and considered themselves more worthy to appropriate it by right to their special role in society.
This is how managers and security forces appeared.
Leaders, important members of society, their guards and a part of society created for the general protection of the tribe.
Often, some members of society who did not want to be ordinary people moved from one legal state to another as robbers and murderers, and vice versa.

There was a need for rules and procedures to support the hierarchy. Beliefs, priests and moral criteria of society based on their sermons appeared.
So there was power over ordinary people. The two components of power, physical and moral, were in dire need of each other.
And the elite with the security forces found a balance with the clergy, the former gave the latter food and comfort of existence, and the latter gave their support in the form of propaganda that legitimized the elite and its need for society.
At the same time, it was necessary to feel the unity of the whole society, and this was achieved by instilling an understanding of the legitimate role assigned to all members of society, conviction in the truth of the beliefs of this particular tribe.
All rituals of beliefs and mores of society were recognized as true, and everything that did not coincide with this set among other tribes was a manifestation of abomination and sacrilege.
This need to put oneself above others, both within society and in relation to other tribes, arose from the selfishness of individuals, based on a solid foundation of the instinct of self-preservation and reproduction.
Let's call the form of negative egoism parasitism.
The two concepts of selfishness and parasitism are the main components of building social relations in society.
Selfishness is quite legitimate and natural.
Its form, which does not take into account the egoism of other people and is harmful to society, is parasitism.
These are two different concepts, selfishness is natural as a given, parasitism is an unacceptable form of selfishness that does not take into account the interests of society.
The entire history of the development of social relations of mankind is the history of the characterization of parasitism as an unacceptable form of natural egoism on the part of a given society and the form and degree of control on the part of society over social parasitism.
