tkay11 Posted April 4, 2023 Share #1 Posted April 4, 2023 There's an interesting article in the 30th March edition of the London Review of Books about the pirate settlements and retirement places in Madagascar. It points to the fact that they did in fact establish democratic and libertarian societies there, which in turn led to the emancipation of women. So not all tales of pirates were fanciful. For anyone interested in a good read, go to https://www.lrb.co.uk/the-paper/v45/n07/francis-gooding/when-thieves-retire, The article is free to read, although if you want to read more stuff in the LRB you'd have to contribute. Happy reading!
