Über diesen Titel

Welcome to Episode 8, where we explore Section 7 of Friedrich Engels’ Origin of the Family, Private Property, and the State, focusing on the gens system among the Celtic and Germanic peoples.

In this episode, we examine how kinship groups, or gens, structured the social, economic, and political life of Celtic and Germanic tribes. Drawing from ancient laws and customs in Ireland, Scotland, and Roman accounts of the Germanic peoples, we uncover the persistence and gradual decline of the gentile system. We delve into their land ownership, marriage practices, inheritance rules, and early governance, illustrating the transformation of these societies from barbarism toward more complex social forms. Join us as we trace the roots of European tribal organization and their lasting influence on history.
