The original content of the communist program is the obliteration of the individual as an economic subject, rights-holder, and agent of human history (Part I)
In this text, whose French translation appeared in Camatte's book Bordiga et la Passion du Communisme and which is translated into English for the first time here, Amadeo Bordiga lays out a concrete vision of communist society as reconstructed from Marx's fragmentary writings on the subject. Communist production, while following "a common and rational plan", will as a joyful act constitute "its own reward". However, to attain such a state of affairs, a revolutionary "dictatorship over consumption" will first be necessary according to Bordiga.

A dissection of the metaphysics of scarcity - humanaesfera
Philosophical article that criticizes the metaphysics of scarcity, widely used (as "unquestionable presupposition") to justify the status quo, repression, commodity exchange, state, exploitation - a true theodicy (an imaginary justification of the sufferings and evils of the world). It shows how both economics and ecology are variations of this same metaphysics, radicalized by the commodity fetishism that pervades subjectivity in modern, capitalist society. And there's an addendum that addresses the pre-capitalist gift.
