literally nothing wrong with that

They probably functioned utilizing a social/political/and economic model closest to "true communism" than anywhere else in human history at a macro, formalized 'state' level.

probably because they didn't have animals to pull the carts

Maybe their elites were autistic neets

I prefer the meme definition of communism and that the belief that any sort of communalism is communism over books. But thanks anyway sweetheart.

They understood the concept, but didn't utilize it. They had different environmental factors contributing to their development, and even then they did rather well, so it's mostly irrelevant.

What else do you want to know?

What was the political system of the Mayans? Did they just have a generic kingdom, or was it something more interesting

What did he meme by this?

>>2788620
>Classic period rule was centred on the concept of the "divine king", who acted as a mediator between mortals and the supernatural realm. Kingship was patrilineal, and power would normally pass to the eldest son. A prospective king was also expected to be a successful war leader. Maya politics was dominated by a closed system of patronage, although the exact political make-up of a kingdom varied from city-state to city-state. By the Late Classic, the aristocracy had greatly increased, resulting in the corresponding reduction in the exclusive power of the divine king.

>>2788620
Theocracy blended with regulated Monarchy

>>2788623

Not a meme. Their were most certainly socially stratified elites, but for the most part the state would give common people what they needed to survive and most all resources were shared among the community.

Who were the dominant tribe in Brazil before the Conquista?

the tupi-guarani groups

>>2788666
Tupis had conquered most of Brazil when the portuguese started colonizing.

Inca is nothing like communism. Communalism maybe.

>>2788537
You're thinking of the Incas I think. The Maya were some of the biggest merchants of mesoamerica, they are more comparable to the ventians and phoenicians.

>>2788620
That depends what period you are talking about and region. In the classic period they had a divine rulership where the kings claimed lineage of deities. After the collapse of the classical period, new models emerged. Things got experimental from here and may have had to do with the people losing faith in their rulers (divine rule) when they could not prevent a collapse. The later Maya governments like in Chichen Itza, had two rulers, a feature that seems to happen also among the Toltecs. In Guatemala they had 4 rulers, 1 which dealt with foreign policy, one with religous and domestic affairs. And the other two were lesser lords but technically not beneath the other two. In the league of Mayapan you had competing dynasties, many who were merchants.

Tupis conquering? keke

They were the chillest people in the whole world.
