Couched in old-style language ("men" abound), pieces by Bruno Astarian argue, from a Marxist perspective, that communization must be anti-work; discusses what makes an insurrection (and what makes it special); introduces (among many things) a more granular definition for capital and the concepts of non-value, and devaloration. The Astarian pieces lead to the final part of the book, by Dauvé, who continues the discussion of insurrections, international and in various times, their limitations and opportunities. Dauvé also brings limits to technology into the equation, arguing for appropriate tech.
