But I wouldn’t be so sure. After capitalism is eliminated worldwide, so many fetters to production are removed. Imagine an Einstein, an Aristotle, a Newton, a Fuller, a Tesla, an Edison, a Franklin, a Curie, a Euclid, a Leonardo, a Hero, a Hypatia, a Gauss, and a Whittle in every factory (for just as Athenian radical democracy produced the highest quota of geniuses in a single place in a short time, radical international working-class democracy would do the same many times over), and imagine all the factories connected in the kind of political coordination that enabled Soviet Russia to end an epidemic in a war-ravaged, largely illiterate nation while defeating the coordinated invasion of 18 hostile powers and simultaneously massively expanding literacy and access to electricity. And you think a pandemic strain developed during the primitive before times is gonna stop them from putting short work to it?
