| | Civilization - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Karl Marx, for instance, argued that the beginning of civilization was the beginning of oppression and exploitation, but also believed that these things would eventually be overcome and communism would be established throughout the world. | | | This point of view has been used to justify racism and imperialism; powerful societies have often believed it was their right to "civilize," or culturally dominate, weaker ones ("barbarians"). | | | In this manner, civilizations began to spread outward from Eurasia across the world some 10,000 years ago - and are finishing the job today in the remote jungles of the Amazon and New Guinea. |

| | The Ishmael Companion: Beyond Civilization: The New Tribal Revolution |
| | Every civilization brought forth in the course of human history has been an intrinsically hierarchical affair--in every age and locale, East and West, as well as every civilization that grew up independently of ours in the New World. | | | Both these beliefs exemplify the cultural fallacy, which is the notion that one's beliefs are not merely expressions of one's culture but are intrinsic to the human mind itself. | | | Civilization is the end, the very last and unsurpassable human social development. |

| | Civilization is the process in which one gradually increases the number of people included in the term 'we' or 'us' and at the same time decreases those labeled 'you' or 'them' until that category has no one left in it. | | | Without books, history is silent, literature dumb, science crippled, thought and speculation at a standstill. | | | Gardening is civil and social, but it wants the vigor and freedom of the forest and the outlaw. |
