Under communism, how do we clean our clothes?

  • It's not really efficient for every housing unit to have its own washing machine let alone dryer
    • some people can dry clothes on lines but some can't
  • Washing clothes by hand sucks
  • Laundromats suck
  • Industrialized clothes washing? I have no direct experience with this

And it needs so much water.

To my mind laundry is one of the most intractable issues.

      this is great if we can make an updated version that's mechanized?? oo many cranks turning chains etc in this one.

      looks to be doing 1 garment at a time, is that for the sake of the video?

      it would be really cool to just dump my clothes into a canal, then stroll down to the end to have them come out cleaned.

        Mechanized?!?! The water does the mechanization!! I think the cranks and chains is just to assist those who may be more on the feeble side.

        This machine can clean 5 blankets in 10 minutes.

        This is the canal, just twisted around in one spot, you can stroll somewhere if you want to and come back or chat with your neighbors while they wash their crap.
