*4. 69:9.6 ''The urge for [[security]] and [[power]]''. [[Communism]] was finally destroyed by the [[deceptive]] [[practices]] of [[progressive]] and successful [[individuals]] who resorted to diverse subterfuges in an effort to [[escape]] enslavement to the shiftless idlers of their [[tribes]]. But at first all hoarding was [[secret]]; [[primitive]] insecurity prevented the outward accumulation of capital. And even at a later time it was most [[dangerous]] to amass too much [[wealth]]; the king would be sure to trump up some charge for confiscating a rich man's [[property]], and when a [[wealth]]y man died, the [[funeral]] was held up until the [[family]] donated a large sum to [[public]] welfare or to the king, an [[inheritance]] tax.

69:9.7 In earliest times [[women]] were the [[property]] of the [[community]], and the [[mother]] [[dominated]] the [[family]]. The early chiefs owned all the [[land]] and were proprietors of all the [[women]]; [[marriage]] required the consent of the tribal ruler. With the passing of [[communism]], [[women]] were held [[individually]], and the [[father]] gradually [[assumed]] [[domestic]] [[control]]. Thus the [[home]] had its beginning, and the prevailing [[polygamous]] [[customs]] were [[gradually]] displaced by [[monogamy]]. (Polygamy is the [[survival]] of the [[female]]-[[slavery]] element in [[marriage]]. [[Monogamy]] is the [[slave]]-[[free]] [[ideal]] of the matchless [[association]] of one man and one woman in the exquisite [[enterprise]] of [[home]] building, [[offspring]] rearing, [[mutual]] [[culture]], and self-improvement.)

69:9.8 At first, all [[property]], including [[tools]] and weapons, was the common [[possession]] of the [[tribe]]. [[Private]] [[property]] first consisted of all [[things]] personally [[touch]]ed. If a stranger drank from a cup, the cup was henceforth his. Next, any place where blood was shed became the [[property]] of the injured [[person]] or [[group]].
