Once he has got this straight, he scrambles up palm trees, spins off coconuts and drops them to the ground so he will not be "unbalanced, choked or whipped." The macaque is good for a six-hour day.
It remains to be seen, however, if the macaque has much of a future under capitalism. Can he serve in the armed forces, for instance, and help conquer colonial territories like Vietnam? Can he be trained to use weapons capable of exterminating all higher forms of life on this planet, including sub-human and ultra-simian primates? It's doubt-— ful. No matter how well they show up in some tests, macaques are only macaques and can never rise to the level of human intelligence.
