> I tend to think that the idea wasn't bad, but people trying to force it to occur faster than the natural societal evolution end up killing a lot of people. Exactly, although I don't believe we can infer to which point the society would naturally evolve. If possible, the probable transition would be from scattered communes to a commune federation. The drawback being that it would be difficult to have political cohesion (not that this is bad, but easily corruptible by neighboring states). > The ironic thing is that it's capitalism that is doing the automating. Interesting insight.
