Out of curiosity, do you know if any other historians/archaeoanthropologists who would make that same claim?
Not to say it’s wrong, but I can see how it would be tempting as a self-declared anti-capitalist to want to interpret the findings in a way that conforms to (and thereby confirms) my worldview.
I heard about Catalhoyuk yesterday… So i have no clue how scientist are perceiving it. But the construction: all together under the same roof, with no street, is pretty striking.
Obviously this dude calling it “anarcho communist” is biased… the wiki article seems to purposely avoid a neutral tone to make it clear.
But I can see why he came to that conclusion. I dont think we have any other settlement even remotely resembling this one, to make a more informed guess
