Hey notnull, here's my thought and my question.

So I use this little thought experiment designed to slash and burn away all the leftist garbage and far-right misrepresentation and any other stupid noise that gets in the way.

For simplicity, let's call it - the politics of 10,000 years ago. Like, how would you explain the general ideas of "communism" in that context?

So my question for @bang is, does this help clarify the discussion? Chuck out all the mistakes, horrors and failings of the last century, not that we should forget them! Far from it! It's just a separate discussion about not trusting cult leaders, commie or otherwise haha

But yeah, you end up talking about how any ancient community would have dealt with conflict around the sharing of resources, or defined their relationships around mutual gain and stuff like that. Much more useful IMO.
