How would you respond to the Absurdist critique that life was absurd and will be absurd before and after capitalism?

What exactly about the communist mode of production will alleviate the absurd?

I'm a communist but don't really know how to respond to this.

I'm pretty sure one must struggle regardless. I mean Albert Camus leaned syndicalist IIRC but I don't think absurdism really contradicts communism. Same thing with existentialism and nihilism. Personally, I think of myself as an active nihilist. For me, it is not enough that the world is meaningless but that I must actively participate in the unmaking of the world. I think that the only way to abolish myself is to abolish the material conditions which gave rise to me. For that reason, I reject suicide because I do not think suicide is an active enough form of self-annihilation.

I need to read Huey Newton. He has some ideas on revolutionary suicide IIRC which sounded interesting to me.

God gives his funniest battles to his silliest clowns.

All philosophy beginning with Nietzsche and after is just pointless faffing about to forestall the ultimate conclusion of western philosophy: "enough knowin, start rowin"
Towards communism, that is

Also camus was an imperialist who was against algerian liberation

Existence is weird, and we live in and as part of a literal cosmic explosion.

Absurdist here; we must imagine the communist to be happy.
