Un monde sans argent: Le communisme was a series of tracts by Les amis de 4 millions jeunes travailleurs, an ultra-left Parisian collective loosely associated with the youth wing of the Unified Socialist Party. It was originally published between 1975 and 1976, deep in France’s anti-capitalist ＂crisis of work＂ that would come to define the decade following the uprisings of May 1968: wildcat strikes, worker self-management, and a generalized distaste for labor, as such, among young people. Reflecting the optimistic context from which it arose, this polemic-imaginative, funny, sometimes offensive-is a rare, detailed elaboration of communism as concrete reality, discernible just beyond the imminent revolution.
＂These transformations aren’t luxuries that the revolution will have to indulge in order to entice the hesitant. They are necessary, here and now, for fighting and gathering forces against the party of capital, which is threatening to stick around for some time.＂
