Oh and Kandrathe, one other thing...I notice in your posts about communism you seem to think we want or advocate a return to hunter/gatherer modes of production (correct me if I'm wrong). What you are referring to it seems is Primitivism, and I have never seen any anarchist, communist, or any sort of revolutionary leftist advocate for primitivism. Of course, I speak for myself only here and those ive encountered. But I can't really see any communist advocating it, since primitivism is highly incompatible with any type of revolutionary leftist thought. In fact, we would view it as quite reactionary, as would most capitalists even.
Humans cannot ever be freed from need or want (well, need for sure at least), and Marxism does not deny this and in fact even agrees with it - need is one of the central themes that is of concern in Marxian economics since this (human need, survival) is the starting point for all economic activity.
