I was originally planning to copy the whole post in a lemmy body, but mastodon makes it too painful to copy-paste as it truncates each link and images have to be copied manually. I also don't know if it fits in a post body. Anyway, If anyone wants to try their hand at copy pasting it in its entirety here, feel free.

In truth statism hierarchy and by extent property seem to go hand in hand.

There was a monopolisation of the commons as far back as the earliest states of ancient mesopotamia, where the elites controlled the irrigation system and by extent the water, crucial for farmers to gain a substinance.
