Desire & Scarcity (was Re: Desire under the Elms)

[Max Sawicky]

. . . The abolition of the world ruled by Desire & Scarcity removes "the
mystical
character of commodities," leaving us free to make use of our powers
(historically developed under the whip of the cruel Master of Desire) to
meet our existing needs and desires and develop new ones through "an
association, in which the free development of each is the condition for the
free development of all."

And we'll have sex and sensually enjoy bodies (our own & others') without
gender & "sexuality" (conceived in our modern fashion as the Truth of the
Self).  The end of Platonic Love, the beginning of pleasant surprises &
lasting friendships.

Sounds mystical, though not necessarily bad.

Or put it this way.  The socialization of the means of
production/elimination of classes seems to connote an
absence of scarcity that does not obtain in *any* real
economy, where rationing of one sort or another is
inescapable.  Nice to imagine but hard to believe.
