Christine:

If perfect communism could exist the ant colony would be a noble model to emulate -- but not for Man with higher abilities -- that's why communism can never succeed long-term -- it is against Man's nature.

You may long to be a drone bee, but frankly, I do not. Until and unless some alien race comes along to prove differently, Man is the supreme race on this planet. We are the Masters; we are the gods of all we survey. When we have conquered DNA and the creation of Life itself, conquered the stars and opened up doorways to actual "other realities" we will have still just begun to scratch the surface of our powers -- the power of the Mind. The child's play that so many are blinded by in this Century does little but pass the time between birth and the grave.

These issues that seem enormous are actually petty and much more easily resolved if politics were taken out of it. The morality of the tribe is an oxymoron. Individuals who subjugate their rational self-interests to the will of the mob are dupes, robots, parrots or good little ants.
