*There is a hole between the way that pre capitalist colonial societies already worshipped power and hierarchy, capitalism wasn't special in that way.

My only issue with this analysis is that I feel there is a hole between the way that puts capitalist colonial societies already worshipped power and hierarchy. You only have to look at the slogans of the 1905 revolution, that were largely begging the 'little father' tsar Nicholas to save them.

Russia was already an empire of course, but I'm still interested in teasing out the gaps between capitalist logics and domination under non capitalist colonial hierarchies from the perspective of the oppressed.

Play and festivals etc still existed in pre capitalist European cultures but they worshipped hierarchy and their masters. How did the brain worms go do deep?

Three are my questions what do you think
