Reminds me of that one twitter thread “what will your job be in the commune” and everyone said the most useless shit like “I have bad anxiety and can’t work but I can bake everyone cookies 😊” and the one guy who chimed in “I have a background as a Carpenter so probably just keep my construction job” got roasted for being a conservative and capitalist in the replies. I’ll try to find it.
Edit: sorry for the redtit link but here’s a good screencap
Seeing as how in most markets you can’t exactly do what you want for a living (or even close), or acquire the skills because they’re behind a steep pay wall, and the only employment you can find is very limited in scope to what the community wants, what’s the difference? Most jobs might as well be issued in the mail.
It blows my mind the people who think, “after the revolution I’m going to be a dog walker and bake dog treats!” When in reality they will probably die in a labor camp.
Maybe if communist theory wasn’t actual fantasy more people would read it. I guess most people are more rooted in reality where communism is a shithole that doesn’t work, and communists are people you have to put up with talking at you as if you cared.
No. You’ll probably be assigned a job that’s required to be done for the good of society.

Person who hasn’t read a single book on communist theory explaining to the communists how they misunderstood what communism is.

I bet you think you’ll be cross-stitching name tags for the party uniforms, right?
Is that how you plan on getting people to subscribe to your ideology?
Do you think Christian missionaries go to a non- Christian areas and are like “Read the bible all the way through or don’t talk to me”?
People who don’t know the first thing about Christianity also shouldn’t be telling the Christians they’ve misunderstood Christianity.
Maybe not die in a labor camp, but they won’t be doing what they expected to do, or even wanted to do.
If they don’t have any particular skill, they’ll probably end up being crop pickers or some shit because we really need those.
Basically very similar to capitalism, but they would probably have a better quality of life overall.
Hahahahahahahaha omg… you can’t be this ignorant. You’re joking, right?
