In traditional Australia, everyone was blood related to each other. I mean, everyone’s still blood related, but now there’s a lot more people who can’t tell you who their great^10 grandparents were.
So here in Australia, the difference between a clan and a tribe isn’t blood. It’s democracy. Tribes have Chiefs. Clans have Elders. The Elders are in charge, but everyone has a voice.
I like tribes more than I like corporations and states, but not quite as much as I like clans.
Clans always gave me the vibe like they needed to be blood related to one another. Is that how you interpret the word?

Athens didn’t invent Democracy 3000 years ago. Aboriginal clans beat them.
Understood, it’s a flatter hierarchy. I can dig that. Also, anti-clanker clan sounds dope in my head.
