Oh, yes. And in fact, as you were speaking, it occurred to me, I mean, so here are a couple of examples of communism. First of all, we have book five of Plato's Republic. where the women and men are shared in common, etc. It turns out to be a highly stratified society where everyone is miserable, essentially, unless you're sort of the top dog.

Far left, right?

So I would suggest that anyone listening to our discussion who's interested in this might go back and look at Aristophanes' Assembly Women, where the men are essentially infantilized. The women run everything, the men are infantilized. And it's a communist society. So you have all these earlier things.
