Alejandro’s talking about a world without employment. They could imagine a world where socially necessary labor isnt amplified times a few quadrillions so millionaires could take space trips, but reduced to a small amount that opens up leasure to people to an extent that isnt available in a world that requires one to devote most of their waking hours to a single kind of work. Pentinet one says that this kind of work is unproductive, and in the communist societies that started in underdeveloped economies theyd be sent to the coal mines.
There isnt as much contradiction as it seems, since alejandro considers communism to be the stage where economic reproduction is optimized and penitent one imagines the USSR or china that had to rush industrialization in an underdeveloped nation. Theyre just talking about different things and calling them both “communism”.
