Edward O. Wilson
“For ants, service to the colony is everything. As individual workers approach natural death, it benefits the colony more for the old to spend their last days in dangerous occupations. The Darwinian logic is clear: for the colony, the aged have little to offer and are dispensable.”
Edward O. Wilson, Tales from the Ant World

“A commune of library employees in Moscow created an "extreme" commune in which all clothing - including undergarments - was collectivized. According to Mehnert, if a communard preferred to wear his or her own underclothes "it would be characterized as a backslide into darkest capitalism; as prejudice originating in a petit-bourgeois ideology".”
Stites Richard
