I think you're conflating commerce with capitalism. I don't think you could have communism without commerce. Even if you did away with currency and the rubber farmer is paid with grain and other foodstuffs that would still be commerce.

That's a good point, cause personally I see it more like yee old humans were the first communists, simply doing things that had to be done cause their life was better thanks to it (unless you consider that a low level 'payment' I suppose)
