From: 'Culture as creative refusal.' (2013 by David Graber)

davidgraeber.org/papers/cultu...
"The first European settlers in North America encountered societies that were often both far more egalitarian and, at the same time, far more individualistic than anything they would have imagined possible. . Accounts of these societies had enormous impact on reshaping horizons of political possibility for many in Europe and ultimately around the world. . Yet to this day, we tend to assume that such attitudes were somehow primordial or, at best, the product of some deep but ultimately arbitrary cultural matrix, but certainly not a self-conscious political project on the part of actors just as mature and sophisticated as the Europeans themselves." . - David Graeber
