Life in Communism 2.1. Part 6. Back to Primitive Communism, By Carla O’Gallchobhair
Through their time travel and presentations, the emerging anthropologist Anisah and her fellow Saint-Denis Communists find out how humanity went downhill once hierarchy, the division of labour, money, and the exploitation of humans and nature got introduced into the world. Yet there is hope. The post-revolutionary organisation of household and village assemblies, brigades and workplace plenaries allows to reproduce, at a more advanced level of productive forces, a humanity never advanced beyond organised bands and village assemblies. If people had never suffered councils, nobles, kings, emperors, and money and if they had continued to share their labour activities and questioned teachers and doctors, they would not only have avoided terrible exploitation by slaveholders, feudal lords and capitalists, but horrible wars and pandemics as well. Even two years after the revolution and the failed coup of Year 2, the capitalists and fascist terrorists are still trying to undermine the trefoil and simple sharing apps with their crypto-currency. Pascal, next to present his thesis, has his work cut out for him.
