if capitalism didn’t exist what would your dream job be. btw if you say something like ‘engineer’ i’ll kill you

What’s… what’s wrong with engineer. Do you honestly think people will stop needing bridges. or water filtration plants. or electricity. or assistive devices. or. or. or. post-capitalism OP.

Hundreds Killed as Building Collapses in Leftist Commune

I DO dream of labour. There is worthwhile and meaningful work in the world, and I want to do it!

In a post-capitalism world there will still be rivers to cross, sick people to nurse, crops to be harvested, computers to program, and buildings to maintain. Some of the work will be dull and unfulfilling and necessary!

But you’d better HOPE we get enough engineers and building inspectors and fire safety marshals and janitors and maintenance workers and bricklayers and auto mechanics and electricians. Otherwise you’d better be ready to drastically reduce your standard of living.

People confuse “non-capitalist” (ie organized for motives other than the acquisition of profit within a model where those who accumulate capital are necessary for large enterprises) with “magically somehow work will be unneeded” and also apparently get confused about how actually right now one of the problems we have is that lots of people who’d LIKE to be engineers and indeed would be GOOD engineers have no opportunity to do so because of the structures of power and opportunities that underlie our current system.

Guys, the jobs that are now considered “good” will still be attractive. Because they’re not just attractive for money. I’m a programmer. I’d like to be a programmer. Give me the dull coding jobs. It’s fine. That’s what I like doing.

I can imagine there are people who love stocking shelves. There are days when I’d love doing that, too.

I can imagine there will still be secretaries who love organizing others as their purpose in life. So they, think doctors, have the time to focus on their thing, which is helping people get/stay healthy.

And I can imagine someone wanting to be that doctor, willingly learn for years about how humans work, and then cope with people’s health, trying to improve it.

“But nobody would want to…” Yes they do. People love danger, dirt, repetitive tasks, responsibility, stress, talking to people all day, hiding away in a dark basement all day, working with animals (with all implications), working at a computer all day, …

For everything that needs doing, you’ll find someone who loves doing it. It’s more about finding enough people for the things that are needed, where they’re needed, when they’re needed.

My mother is a bureaucrat and a farmer and living her dream life tending to her garden in her free time just as much as when she’s at work doing what she herself drscribed as “the most dry, administrative, paperworky position you can find” and she said this to me with such excitement and joy. For every job you can imagine, it’s somebody’s dream job.

the clock scene is overhyped as hell and film bros ignore the importance of the apple scene bc they're afraid of the homoerotic undertones and i WILL die on this hill!
