Erm, hunter-gatherer society is highly relevant because it is a known stateless society.

Technically, farming and herding are also a measure of control over nature. Stateless farmers and stateless herders also exist. But there is no known industrialized stateless society.

A hunter-gatherer society was not really relevant to this discussion, because I was discussing industrialized societies explicitely. I tried to clear that up.

False dichotomy.

Servants, apprentices and slaves participate in the running of the tribe/village in a certain sense, yet they are also very clearly dependent.

They do not participate in the sense of formulating the rules and making decisions with how the society is run. They are subordinate to those who do. That was my point. It was not a false dichotomy.
