A summary essay of the book, The Origins of English Individualism: Family Property and Social Transition, by Alan Macfarlane, professor of social anthropology and historical anthropology at Cambridge university from 1975-2006.
—by Lisa Outhwaite
“…one of the most thoroughly investigated of all peasantries in history turns out to be not a peasantry at all. The classical example of the transition of a “feudal”, peasant-based society into a new, capitalist, system turns out to be a deviant case”.
The general point made is the refutation of previous claims of English life prior to the 16th Century being predominantly that of a peasantry (here defined as land ownership and property rights generally being held by the family and extended kin and not the individual, with a general lack of social mobility or capitalist economy).
– Ample evidence for frequent land ownership transference outside of the family group in the 13th century.
– Inheritance was subject to a will and not birth-right laws.
– Children did not work as a collective family unit and left home, often marrying late.
– Households were predominantly nuclear, with little evidence of multiple married couples sharing the same dwelling (typical for collectivist societies).
– Marriage tended to be later.
– In 13th Century England, single women, married women and widows all had very considerable property rights as individual persons.
– In the period prior to the Black Death up to half the adult population were primarily hired labourers, which is incompatible wth notions of a peasant economy.
– The exchange of labour services for cash was widespread by the middle of the 12th Century.
– Production was often for exchange rather than personal use.
– Strong evidence of individual mobility, in marked distinction to typical peasant societies.
“Evidence for this re-assessment comes primarily from local and legal records. It is based on what happened in particular villages and the nature of the law. It reveals a picture of a social and economic structure greatly at variance even with what we know of most of continental countries in the 19th Century, let alone Asian or other peasantries.”
Travel diaries of the time made frequent comment on the peculiar system in England with its absence of communities, family ties etc.
Montesquieu observed in 1729 that England “hardly resembles the rest of Europe”
Other writers commented on the peculiar independence, individuality and freedom of the English.
The primary comparative historians of the 19th Century stress the differences between the legal, economic and social structure of medieval England. Only in England was the concept of indivisible, individually held, private property present by the 13th Century. A difference which made England “wholly exceptional in Europe”.

The Four Great Inventions are inventions from ancient China that are celebrated in Chinese culture for their historical significance and as symbols of ancient China’s advanced science and technology.
The Four Great Inventions are:
Compass
Gunpowder
Papermaking
Printing
FAILURE
by James Santagata
1. Compass – China oriented Walls | West explored Worlds
2. Gunpowder – China made multicolored fireworks | West put Men on the Moon.
3. Papermaking – China made toilet paper | West copied toilet paper as top notch, give credit where credit due.
4. Printing – China printed Decrees & Death Sentences | West printed Treatises, Theories + Technical Manuals
(By why did she fail? They printed wisdom literature. Conversely, Europeans printed technical literature “how to”. When they set out to see the world, they found it awful (disharmonious), when europeans set out to see the world they found it profitable. )
HISTORY
Printing evolved in china from ‘taking rubbings’ of carved Confucian texts. Eventually evolving into raised letters, and then raised letters with ink.
European Mechanical presses
Mechanical presses as used in European printing remained unknown in East Asia. Instead, printing remained an unmechanized, laborious process with pressing the back of the paper onto the inked block by manual “rubbing” with a hand tool. In Korea, the first printing presses were introduced as late as 1881–83, while in Japan, after an early but brief interlude in the 1590s, Gutenberg’s printing press arrived in Nagasaki in 1848 on a Dutch ship.

THE SMITH AND THE DEMON – OUR OLDEST FOLK TALE AND OUR FIRST MORAL LESSON: BAITING INTO HAZARD
According to research applying phylogenetic techniques to linguistics by folklorist Sara Graça da Silva and anthropologist Jamie Tehrani,”The Smith and the Devil” may be one of the oldest European folk tales, with the basic plot stable throughout the Indo-European speaking world from India to Scandinavia, possibly being first told in Indo-European 6,000 years ago in the Bronze Age.
Our ancestors were metalworkers – and the most common name – smith – a reminder. Medieval hell evolved from the blacksmith’s forge.
The oldest myth of the west is Faust (the devil and the blacksmith)
The Europeans worship a sky god (nature, sun) and magic, the Semites a moon and star (astrology, heavens)
Why isn’t Faust Europe and the devil Abrahamism’s false promise?
In other words, why isn’t our foundational myth a warning against Abrahamism/Semitism?
Because what does the demon practice?
False promise, baiting into moral hazard, defended with pilpul and critique.

In other words, it is better to be a spiritual or secular Christian with Christian love humility and skepticism than it is to be a devoted member of the faith obsessing over it rather than using it to do good in the world.

THE FOUR VICTORY CONDITIONS
—“Curt; I am Christian because i have been shown much beyond mortal experiences. Your message falls in line with much of what God says and did in the old testament…… I have friends from every race and religion i fear one day i will have to call them enemy…. Even if they dont fight against us what will happen to them after our victory? What will happen to churches and religion? My God, my family, and my country and freedom are the things i will die for and fight for even against those on the right. How do i bring my faith into alignment with what seems like a great movement?”—
OTHERS
They are not your enemies as fellow followers of christ, but they are your enemies in every other regard – and christ has no influence upon material goods, man’s material demands, or Caesar’s law governing man’s material behavior.
Christianity is an exceptional personal and interpersonal religion but it is a catastrophic failure as a political religion. Orthodoxy survived by NOT engaging reason and politics. Catholicism failed by engaging reason and politics. And protestantism has either transformed into secularism (like me) or a fundamentalism like the muslims – and will die.
So you must love men as individuals as christ advises, but you may not confused the difference between the personal and interpersonal IMMATERIAL and the interpersonal and political MATERIAL.
If they are not your kin, they are only tolerable through separation. Whether separate neighborhoods, cities, countries, or empires is determined by how much conflict there is over the material despite the immaterial (Spiritual).
AFTER OUR VICTORY
There are four victory conditions
1. We conduct a politicide (eliminating all leftism from all of life), rule every under rule of (God’s-Natures) natural law and under Jesus’s (Natural) law, by nationalizing (our race) all military, political, and government jobs, and denying all others access to political power as we did under the monarchies (successfully) for millennia.
2. We will restore voluntary disassociation, we will once again limit democratic participation, and devolve matters once again to states and localities, leaving the federal government for matters of property conflcit between the states, and we will repatriate the invaders and return to sorting ourselves into kin-group neighborhoods, and towns and live in peace despite our differences in ability productivity and culture.
3. We separate and rule our states and they their states and some states will be homogenous and others will be heterogeneous and we will once again be like our ancestors in Europe.
4. We fight house to house, end up with a hundred million or more dead and then whomever wins does genocide against the rest.
OUR CHURCH
Our church will be made into a state religion, including european ancestral heathen and pagan worship and all other religions prohibited, all other religious monuments buildings and symbols prohibited in public spaces – we cannot control what is in people’s heads but we can prohibit any practice and prosecute it ruthlessly until all others are gone.
