Let's say the revolution happens and is successful. You are now free to work a job that does not alienate you and you find fulfilling. What do you do?

Personally, I would love to be a baker that just makes bread all day. I'd just make loaves of bread and give them to everyone.

    I have no dreams or aspirations so I'd probably end up being some sort of minor bureaucratic cog working for like the People's DMV or something

    Honestly I’d love to be a janitor, I really like keeping things clean and working on my own and really the main thing that keeps me away from it is that they’re not treated well in this system.

    That or a high school history teacher.

      I like this because janitor is one of the stereotypical jobs that "no one wants to do" and therefore there has to be a profit motive to have anyone do the job at all.

    I always wanted to be a firefighter or garbage collector

    Urban planning.
    I didn't even study it at uni, I did chemistry, so I guess re-educating would be on the agenda.
    While doing that I'd spend several years getting in shape and reading all the books I've sidelined.
    Once that's done with, on with the creation of the utopian communes, where cars are an executable offense, and cities are amalgamations of hundreds of self-contained, self-sufficient little neighbourhoods filled with comradely spirit and solidarity, though the Stirnerites are perfectly free to sit by themselves on their balconies, gazing wistfully at the landscape and pondering the remaining spooks.
    Also I expect to engage in regular struggle sessions with Brutalists over the inherently oppressive nature of concrete architecture.

      Yeah, Soviet buildings don't look half as bad in summer anyway, but they built them like that in order to rapidly give everyone in a rural country decent housing.

      The US should be building high quality Art Nouveau shit everywhere.

    Kinda do the same as now, just without the bullshit competition nonsense, the corporate propaganda, the "career ladder" treadmill, the customer asskissing, the environmental pollution and the endangerment of my co-workers for profit motives.

    I'm an engineer in the metal industry and I'd be more than proud to provide the materials we need to truly build a better, more sustainable and beautiful world that fills the needs of everyone. God, just give me a fucking purpose beyond enriching some assholes.

    Always wanted to explore outer space

    You know, unless I end up on that terrible planet of the apes.
