Preview of Life in Communism 2.1. Revolutionary Travel, by Carla O’Gallchobhair. It is February-March of Year 19 of the World Revolution (where 2021 is Year 0). Comrade Vicky, Peter Gar’s long-missed daughter is in our cooperative Illyria in Yvelines with her grandson Vitya to give what might at first sight seem to be a boring presentation of bourgeois, business, and elite travel under capitalism as compared to the much more fulfilling experience of revolutionary travel in Communism. Yet Vicky is not only a travel agent, who has done a thorough study of all new travel forms possible thanks to revolutionary science. She is also a buffalohuman, who can switch magically from a human to a buffalo and if need be to a grasshopper incarnation. At the same time, ex-U.S. underground capitalists and fasco revanchists have still not given up their pipe dream of returning capitalism and imperialism. Their latest hope is Gerardo Trilei, an Argentinian underground oligarch who has declared himself president and has a programme for returning money or at least money substitutes, harmful EMR-run internet, exploitation of humans, plants, and animals, and renewed surveillance from satellite not only in Argentina but all over Latin America. Two Illyrian research brigades accompanied by Vicky and Vitya happen to be on their way to South America, and may have a chance to do something to thwart Trilei’s plot.
