Someone, Thinking He Had The Perfect "gotcha" To Make Me Abandon Communism, Once Asked Me "if There's

Someone, thinking he had the perfect "gotcha" to make me abandon communism, once asked me "if there's no wage incentive, who would clean the toilets? Who would pick up the trash?" and my answer was "me! And probably you too once you actually think about it." Because humanity is now in a position where if we used our technical progress to automate every task that can be automated, and delegate the remainder of labor and responsibilities equitably, the average able-bodied adult would work 10-16 hours a week. If given the choice, I would gladly elect to clean toilets for 10 hours a week with all my needs guaranteed to be met, rather than work 40-80 hours a week at a job that is nominally less gross and still live with financial insecurity. Wouldn't you?

May 10, 2024 - Hundreds of radical environmentalists and anticapitalists have broken through police lines and fences and stormed the terrain of the Tesla Gigafactory Berlin-Brandenburg. They are attempting to stop the planned expansion of the factory, which would mean the destruction of surrounding forest and farmland. The factory also uses immense amounts of water, and all to sell shitty electric cars to give people the idea that personal consumption choices can save the environment from destruction, and make fascist Elon Musk even richer than he already is. The actions in the past days have forced Tesla to temporarily shut down production at the factory. [video]
