Abstract

Yes, how "singular" is this "East" to which we must today refer Peru with its "Inca socialism", its "Asian mode of production" and its "Oriental despotism"! But without a doubt it is a matter of agreeing and agreeing to begin with that the most interesting thing in this "eastern" Empire that was the Inca Peru —for us at least that we are going to deal here with a certain ideological use of this model of society— It resides not so much in the paradoxical presence of a "dominant class, established above all others" or in what Louis Baudin hastily called "state socialism", but rather in that "ancestral element" whose "origins are lost in prehistory ": The ayllu, the primitive agricultural community.
