Preview Life in Communism 2.1. Part 8. Beautiful Country, by Carla O’Gallchobhair

After their success with the green drill, Léon and his team at Ponts et Chaussées, with support by his friends from the neighbourhood assemblies Casa Latina Russki Dom at 76 rue de Lorraine in Saint-Denis and their rural cooperative Illyria in Yvelines, have started on a new topic – ecological methods of getting rid of ugly, badly-built, or unneeded buildings. Yet fascist saboteurs, as in the case of the abolition of money, are throwing multiple spanners in the works: an Anti-Detonation-League does not shy away from bombing itself, the central grid is played against the block energy works, there is a threat of radiation terror, water supply and quality are in danger, and soil health is still compromised by toxic fertilisers and herbicides… Against all this terror, Léon presses on with research for a beautiful country and he and the other revolutionaries patiently garner support among the people.
