ABSTRACT
THE Communism of Antiquity, as exhibited in the Hellenic speculation and experiments, was chiefly concerned with political and material objects. Plato’s aspirations pointed to the establishment of an efficient Athenian, or Hellenic national State. At their zenith the Spartans pursued eugenic-social aims: to create a community of supermen was their object. The Greek utopian dreamers sighed for a life without toil; Virgirs mind was directed upon a return of the Age of Saturn; Seneca yearned for primitive equality.
