The Interconnectedness of Societies and the Universality of Human Beings

This chapter explores the interconnectedness of different societies throughout history, debunking the idea of a clear demarcation between them. It discusses examples such as the Incas and Aztecs integrating different indigenous tribes into their empires and highlights the universality of human beings. The chapter also delves into the theory of slavery as a distinct stage of society and argues that it cannot be considered a mode of production due to its occurrence in various relations and forces.
