  I think the big issue is lack of variance in your work. Human brains need different stimuli. S o if you do only one type of work all the time, you want something different after a while and yearn for another extreme.

  communist societies need ditchdiggers too!

  I gladly dig ditches, if it’s not the only thing I do.

    Each 5 years you can change job so. That would be a great idea for domes.

  I wouldn’t have an issue with my field if it wasn’t grossly dominated by companies in the banking and commerce sector.

    Former ditch digger turned office worker. I miss the ditch digging sometimes. My body never does.

  Yeah some people think that in a communist society that they will suddenly do other jobs like working in an animal shelter. Nope if you work in IT now you’d still be in IT under communism. The commune still needs their IT infrastructure running and the people with IT skills get assigned to do that.

    I honestly just wish the capitalist number min-maxing to keep shareholders happy would finally stop. In the last 8 years the time I spent doing “accounting work” has increased from 10% of my total to almost 50%.

    Yeah, some people will need retraining, especially the managerial class. But for the most part, if my country had a peaceful and sudden communist revolution tomorrow, I’d be clocking in on Thursday with the same engineering job and asking what’s changing now that we’re under new management.

  That’s the problem with all politics. People don’t like the status quo and so vote for “not this” without considering the ill effects of what they’re voting for, or historical precedent. It’s how we ended up with Trump twice, it’s how we ended up with Brexit, and it’s not going away any time soon.

    This is why I think any shift to the left will still go poorly. The ignorance is still there. The misinformation is still there. It will be used for negative ends by bad-faith actors like everything else.

      Everything goes poorly, always. Not shifting for the left means horrible things done poorly. Shifting to the left means at least good things done poorly, that’s not a meaningless difference.

      Just be realistic with the goals of your movement and you won’t disappoint anyone - see Mamdani.

        I agree.
