Will add another aspect to the concepts that were nearly discussed in the interview. The accumulation of capitalist holdings and the formation of nations, was not a democratic or reasonable process.

It was accomplished through lies, murder and theft. If we can as a society and a world progress toward more enlightened, humane and just ways of relating to each other, communism will become more feasible to the average person. Their viewpoint may give an impetus to changing the rest of society, but now, indigenous people are still being swept into this dying system of religion and capitalist ideology.

At this point, we are on the edge of the cliff, propelled by a combination of a Brave New World social model and a 1984 governance model or a world wide fascist super state. While Marx envisioned a global system, this was never what the vision entailed. In a way, it was more the Biblical model of 'every man had his own vineyard,' to give each individual their rights, but an end to warfare and social caste.
