What will be the stage after anarcho-communism (state-less communism)?
Hello all: We all know that the world and societies are in constant evolution. I would like to know after hundreds of years in the anarchist-communism system, what will be the stage after anarch-communism? Anarcho-transhumanism perhaps?
I mean if anarcho-communism is the stage after the dictatorship of the proletariat (Socialism), what will be the stage after anarcho-communism?
Thanks

Communism is the last stage.
sing me to sleep then leave me alone
That would be a post production society where there is no relationship between humans and production due to 100% automation, and the possible formation of artilect(s) (autonomous thinking computer) that could in theory instantly end the classless society as it would mean all our intelligence machinery would all of a sudden by a working class and theoretically lead to militant machinery that demands a end to its exploitation that would basically cause huge theoritical conundrums as the means of production itself would a)be a working class b)aware of its explotion and c)struggling against humans against being means of production that contradict with the idea of a classless society having abudance due to collectivly using the means of production.
Other then that I can't think of a stage after communism.

We shall have to wait and see, I imagine...

There will be other stages, considering the history of humanity, its crazy to think otherwise.
However it is probably impossible to predict that far ahead, I imagine the mindset of people after hundreds of years of communism will be radically different from those around today (After hundreds of years of capitalism), I doubt my answer to that question will be any more accurate than some peasant's answer to the same question would of been 1000 years ago..probably something laughable like "Jesus will return and become King"
With this in mind i'm guessing that it'll be Space Communism
Something or nothing.
ive been thinking about this for awhile... since the longterm results of the establishment of a truly communist society really can't be forseen, the only option i've really considered is a sort of reboot of civilization.
1. Primitive Communism
2. Feudalism
3. Capitalism
4. Communism
5. Primitive Communism
6. Feudalism
etc. etc. ad nauseam until a) Star Trekor b) extinction
So will we be once again in a state of perpetual conflict under communism?

LK, after anarcho-communism, it comes a steady period, of evolution of mankind, technology etc, but as the system is perfect, its the only thing that will not get changed. You cant make perfect, more perfect. Simple as that.

I'd say that "communism is the end of history", I think I read this somewhere, but I might be wrong.
Wait didn't Karl Marx say something like "they want you to think Capitalism is the final stage of mankind but neither will be Communism" main idea of it I guess.
America is just the country that shows how all the written guarantees in the world for freedom are no protection against tyranny and oppression of the worst kind. There the politician has come to be looked upon as the very scum of society. - Peter Kropotkin
I read that marx indicated that the communist society is only the end of what he refered to as the prehistory of human society. The way i see it is once we arrive in a society in which the developed forces of industry are collectivised and democratic and we have dismantled all realised opressive or harmful structures, only then can we begin to explore the full potential of humankind. Part of that full potential will no doubt be further identifying and dismantling currently unaccounted for detremental structures or behaviours and so on. What and how this society looks looks, i have no idea and will no doubt never see myself.

Just as many have already suggested, a new issue may arise that must be dealt with using some new, evolved way of human thinking.
Yet, as far as we can tell now, communism will end when the Universe freezes.
Yeah its hard to say. History will cease to be a history of class struggle as there will be no classes. New, non-class-based contradictions will govern the progress of the world. Maybe technolohical advances, contact with aliens, who knows..
Formerly zenga zenga !
I considered that too, but it was brought to my attention that for society to be cyclical like this, it would require some technological backpeddling that would cause materials to become scarce again.ive been thinking about this for awhile... since the longterm results of the establishment of a truly communist society really can't be forseen, the only option i've really considered is a sort of reboot of civilization.

In primitive Communism, technology was very limited and resources were scarce, which led to small tribes of people working toward the common good. In feudalism, technology had advanced to the point where humans no longer had to be nomadic, which led to goods and land being concentrated into the hands of a privelidged elite...and so on and so forth.
In order to revert back to primitive Communism after Communism, we'd need a disaster that not only destroys the entire infrastructure of human society, but all its technological sophistication and knowledge as well...and since that's virtually impossible, society is just going to keep moving toward something we can't forsee.
Contact with aliens would lead to imperialism or slavery yet again. The question is who would be exploiting and conquering and enslaving whom. Would we do that to the aliens or would the aliens do that to us?
TDTGQ and Glenn Beck, consider this a verbal warning because few posts above i made it clear that here is learning, and non serious answers are not to be posted here.This is not chit-chat.Please dont do that again, especially in learning threads.
