Here’s a little thought experiment I came up with: let’s say the population of a large city under a communist government was suddenly transported back to prehistoric times. None of their technology came with them, only the knowledge in their brains. Let’s assume they survive, would they be able to keep living under some sort of Marxist-leninist/communist ideology? In the complete absence of technology, do you think a large scale communist society can be maintained, or would it necessarily have to dissolve into something more akin to “tribal communism”? Would the tribes they revert into start warring with each other for resources like actual prehistoric tribes did? Do you think the people in this situation would be able to hold on to communist ideals from a mental perspective, or would people start wanting a capitalist or other system?

we can have co-operative work. the wage can be only the worker share of the wealth created by them, and not a form of plus value extraction. what is fundamental is, the means of production are de jure or de facto provarem owned? a full communist society need very developed productive forces, but if we are talking about time travel, we are talking about preserving the tribal communism while developing productive forces. a hunting gathering society have not the concept of wage, because all tribe benefits from work done. we can have a non monetary society, where workers build things, and request things from a administration, without money, for instance.

communism is different from pos scarity. but yeah, work sucks, being a human in a brutal environment socks, and communism can end alienation of work, but not the human condition.
