Did patriarchal clan system disintegrate clan society into class society? If there is a matriarchal clan, will it be like this?

The emergence of class society is because, with the development of productive forces, the products produced not only meet people's survival needs, but also have surplus, so there is a division between the exploited class and the exploited class.

The reason why matriarchal clan is replaced by paternal clan lies in the change of production mode.

During the matriarchal clan period, women engaged in gathering, pottery making, processing and textile, while men engaged in fishing and hunting. Because the gathering economy at that time was more stable than the fishing and hunting economy, and it was the basic guarantee to maintain clan life, and women played a special role in fertility, so women had a high prestige in the clan and occupied a leading position.

(The Naxi nationality in Yongning, Yunnan Province still retains a strong matriarchal tradition. Women are the most important thing in the local area, and it is believed that giving birth to a daughter is not a root-breaking, but only a son is a root-breaking, and an heiress must be adopted.

The matriarchal clan commune has experienced its heyday, and the development of social productive forces is accelerating day by day. Men are mainly engaged in agriculture, animal husbandry and handicrafts.

The production department gradually occupied the dominant position, so the matriarchal system naturally transitioned to the paternal system. Patriarchal commune has gradually formed, and men rely on economic advantages to occupy a dominant position in social production and life.

Therefore, it is naturally the result of the development of production that the paternal line replaces the maternal line, which is determined by the status of men and women in production activities. If men and women can be completely equal in production activities, real equality between men and women can be achieved.
