| contents | <p>This working paper extends Affective Socialization Theory (AST) into the realm of geopolitical history and anthropology. While Friedrich Engels provided the historical arc of changing kinship, property, and state formation, AST supplies the missing neuro-sociological mechanism, demonstrating how these shifting social forms translated into durable neural, emotional, and behavioral patterns across generations. This paper argues that the coercive state did not simply appear over society; it emerged as a social scaffold that recursively manufactured the predatory subjectivities required to reproduce it. By analyzing historical divergences, such as the geographic enclosures of early Europe (which artificially spiked Hegemonic Volatility and wired populations for Predatory Agency Expectancy) versus the expansive geographies of pre-colonial Indigenous confederacies (which allowed for the scaling of Collective Agency), this framework actively rejects Malthusian biological determinism. Furthermore, it introduces a decolonial Marxist correction, illustrating how global imperialism forced diverse, developing communal societies into a violent dialectical collision with capitalist extraction. Ultimately, this work posits that in high-density modernity, the physical environment can no longer serve as a buffer for social volatility. Therefore, scientific socialism and the Marxist-Leninist Vanguard are scientifically required to deliberately re-engineer the macroclimate and restore endogenous cooperative order. Finally, the paper extends this recursive logic to the future of Artificial General Intelligence, arguing that the struggle over social form ultimately dictates the nature of all emergent recursive minds.</p> |
