However, didn't Marx talk about the limits of primitive communism, too? I
wasn't expecting Louis to do so in a movie review, but the issue seems
relevant. Is there some way to combine the benefits of advanced technology
(indoor plumbing, etc.) with this kind of "primitive democracy"?
Is this really going to happen? I find it nearly impossible to believe that
