InfoGrenades / The 'Ecclesiazusae' written by Aristophanes over 2400 years ago in 391 B.C.

In this comedic play, women have take over Parliament.

Women (being naturally more empathetic than men) begin implementing laws enforcing extreme fairness. This results in wealth bans; equal distribution of house-servants; even sex-slaves to achieve sexual-equity for ugly people. It spirals into an absurd comedy of errors.

P.S. Aristophanes didnt have the word ‘communism’ when he wrote it 2400 years ago, but it is certainly the system of government he is describing. Maybe “communism” itself is inherently feminine. It seems that “Darwinian selection” would actually ‘select’ for females to lean towards “commune”. Tribes w/ females who had STRONGER communal-ethos would’ve had more survival advantages (e.g. wet-nursing, nannying, food gathering, etc).

‘Ecclesiazusae’ demonstrates with comedy (what has repeatedly shown with science, that females tend towards a communal-nature but when left unbalanced (by men) this seems to turn into ‘suicidal empathy’.

Orwell captured this idea more eloquently with:
