Tribalism

Tribalism or Hunterism-Gatherism is a very early ideology, it cannot be exactly placed on the political compass as it predates much of what modern humanity even defines as "left, right, libertarian, authoritarian". Tribalism hardly has any advocation at all, and is perceived as primitive or uncivilized in the modern public eye (though it has to some extent been romanticized by popular culture as seen in the tropes such as the "noble-savage"). Though colonialism and globalization has made tribal life for many completely obsolete, it is still practiced in some parts of the world such as North Sentinel Island, or some parts of the Amazon rainforest.

History

Insofar as tribalism can be considered a "political ideology" in the traditional sense, tribalism is the oldest ideology in human history and has existed for over 200,000 years. It was not founded by anyone in particular but developed slowly over the course of human evolution. Humans are social animals and are ill equipped to survive on their own, therefore forming into groups and cooperating leads to far greater success. It remained relatively unchanged in the face of technological advancement. Many tribes adopted some technologies from settled societies, such as iron tools, horses, wagons etc, and regularly traded with civilization. Some of which even have managed to take over more technologically advanced settled societies such as the File:GenghisKhan.png Mongol Empire, forming the largest contiguous empire in human history. Since the advent of agriculture 12,000 years ago, some tribes adopted a sedentary lifestyle, but these remained a minority.

After the colonial era began, most tribes around the world began being systematically exterminated and "civilised" by European powers. within 500 years, tribalism went from being the dominant ideology by land area to being virtually extinct. Today, only a handful of tribal societies continue to exist, mostly in the most isolated parts of the Amazon, and notably on North Sentinel Island.

Beliefs

The most fundamental structure in tribalism is the family. Most people tended to group around and remain with their families. Marriages were performed as an exchange between families, cementing a connection between the two. this usually but not always meant that the woman would be handed over to the man's family. a large extended family made up a clan, and many clans made up a tribal identity. most clans had a family head that made high level decisions. many iron age tribes in Europe had tribal chiefs that gained their authority through the consent of the most powerful clans, and retained their authority through strength. when tribal chiefs died or lost their strength, a power struggle would ensue. Tribes and even clans would often act very hostile towards each other, and small scale wars between clans were a common occurrence.

File:CommunismePrimitif.png Primitive Communism

Primitive Communism is a way of describing the "economy" of hunter-gatherer societies, where the resources are shared with all members of a group in accordance to their needs, it is also a concept, often credited to Marx and Engels, that describes this societies as based in egalitarian social relations and common ownership.

Personality

Tribalism is portrayed as a typical hunter-gatherer and/or caveman stereotype. Depending on how they are depicted by the creator they may partake in various activities from hunting and gathering, to partaking in traditional ceremony and File:Ghost-template.png spirit worship, to living in harmony with nature to raping burning, and pillaging other tribes or settled societies, or even partaking in cannibalism from time to time. May actively get angry easily when he sees what he considers "witchcraft" created by their own demonic figure "Moon-god" who creates all the bad things in Grug's life, and that the only way to ward off such evil is to have faith in the tribe elder, as well as Sun-God, who is the god of all things good in Grug's life.

Some people might see it as problematic for how it may portray tribal peoples as being backward savage barbarians, however it should be noted that this is supposed to be taken as anything more than parody, rather than as literal depictions of said people both in said societies long ago and today. As well as to deconstruct and parody more so the people typically who think that tribal society would be some kind of egalitarian utopia and tribal people as apparently "noble-savages" with relatively few problems that should be seen as ideal to go back made to parody such individuals such as certain arguments by anti-technology groups such as File:Neolud.png Neoluddites and Anprims.
