Question

How politcal systems relate to subsistence strategies?

Answer 1

Political systems in subsistence societies tend to be less stratified; as in, they tend to have most people at the same status as everyone else.  If everyone is busy getting enough food together, you can't really have people dedicating themselves exclusively to other activities like being artisans or architects or bureaucrats.

Once societies start getting surpluses of food, their social structures tend to become less egalitarian.

Answer 3

I think the last answer was solid, but let me word it this way... If all your efforts go into survival, there's little time for anything else.  The political system would have the same priorities/limitations.
