    No. You’ll probably be assigned a job that’s required to be done for the good of society.

      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 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.
