Communism and (lack of) privacy

[Nehru]

Many people value privacy, especially the introverted types. Since in collective ownership, people work together, take decisions together, is there a danger it could lead to lack of privacy?

[o well this is ok I guess]

What does that have to do with privacy?
There's a difference between working together and reading each others diaries.

I think if society is intellectually developed enough to operate under communism then privacy simply won't be an issue. Free love, give as you can and take as you need, all that stuff will eliminate any reason to hide anything or feel embarrassed about anything.

I'd probably be classified as "introverted" but I think that's just a side effect of living in a terribly artificial society. When I'm with those rare kind of people I'm similar to then I open right up. I don't doubt that most "introverts" are like that.

Humans are social animals that work together as they have been doing for their entire evolutionary history. Our intelligence evolved so that we could work together more effectively and so that we could communicate with one another, which is why our brain has built-in support for natural languages.

Capitalism and individualism have perverted humanity leading to the creation of these "introverts."

Are you sure? Some people may prefer music or painting (or any solo activity) than spend time socializing. They may not like people at all and may instead prefer to engage in creative activities most of the time.

I don't see what your asking really. Proletarians work together now all the time. I don't see how it would change, actually, Privacy would probably improve, since you don't have capitalists up your ass.

Working together doesn't mean that they will be sleeping on bunkbeds with each other. They will go about their jobs at their place of work, and go home to their homes, and will socialize wherever they please. Everyone will have their own private home where they can live in peace.

Don't people live together, go to school together, work together and make decisions together (granted on a smaller scale) in present day? I really don't see this as an issue within Marxist theory.

Not to mention the elevated state of human condition in communism.
