Imagine the ashes have finally settled on the perfect communist society. You can finally pursue your passions and do meaningful work without having to worry about your material conditions. What are you doing? Farming? Teaching? Writing? Cooking? Computer nerd stuff? Posting full time?
I'm curious to see if there's any pattern in your responses! It might also help to list your ideology.
I'm an ancom and I want to either be a teacher or an artist (probably both). I don't know if I could stomach being a teacher in the current school system, but I'm really passionate about education. I think it would be perfect to teach in a communist society.
Edit: reading through this thread makes me so happy omg. we should envision the future together more often :))
Ancom
All I wanna do is mop, its really zen. But they never pay people that mop enough. Id mop hospitals, school gyms, whatever it is dont care. I also really liked painting shop floors, that was pretty cool.
Id probably also want to help garden some urban greenhouses so we can have fresh produce. Go in a few times a week, water them or take notes for the agro-builogist researchers for any experimental or organic stuff theyre doing.
Id build houses, drywall, paint too if people needed it but I wouldnt do it very often.
Yeah, this, art and teaching would be super fulfilling
Ancom, mostly syndicalist.
I want to get back into robotics and automation under a system where I can automate some shit job and have that actually be a net good for the people who had the shit job.
I work in medicine. Same thing. I wouldn't have to watch people worry about their medical bill though.
Your 'revolution' will not cure me of being a huge shit. I will do whatever is easy as little as possible and lie about it

I'd like to go back to a bakery and bake honest to god bread, not the sugary deepfried shit, not the carbage creamy fat cakes and other unhealthy shit, just good goddamn bread. Afterwards I'd like to go to the community kitchens and cook something lovely and vegan for a whole bunch of people and end the day by resting in the arms of qt comrade or two.
Wholesome! 10+ and central heating wont ever be a problem during winter nights
Farming, but not like large scale monoculture, more like homesteading/permaculture/food foresting.
ML/Luxemburgist depending on how I feel.
So many things, sing obscure opera's, study molecular bio, and one day, if FALGSC is achieved and the climate crisis averted, light out for space.
There is an eternity of things to know and do, and maybe one day mankind will have that time.

That's poetic
like actually do architecture like you know buildings that will not be used for speculation and left empty but places for people to live and enjoy their lifes a bit i guess, also maybe become a pro shitposter finally getting paid to post a dream come true
oo yeah architecture is really cool, and also really shitty under capitalism lol. I can't wait to see what it will look like when it's actually designed for people!
like no joke the housing market will break anyone who stares at it like it sucks shit do you like buildings with low ceillings because housing market loves to do them because then save space and can add more floors and thus more rooms to sell even though that would make the ventilation and the whole BEING IN THE ROOM feel worse, like i was not as much of a leftist when i got into university but it really radicalizes anyone who cares about this even a little just dreadful
Help make software that is a net-good for people
Maybe some forestry work
And write some really, really shitty poetry.
But if there is one thing that I can imagine in a post-revolution society its that the division of labor would be so much less rigid than today.
