Is this what life under communism feels like?
Be me, STEMfag
Yes.
...
Also sick internship. What study do you do?
Going to china for an internship, hopefully will be just as rewarding as your job, hopefull will have time to draw cool architecture and read Marx unlike mao did after im done with work.
That wasn't communism, it was voluntary slavery.
Communism doesnt have pay, and:
Sounds pretty commie to me. Maybe its a charity?
How do you subsist fam?
Do you get neetbux or live with your parents?
WHAT ARE YOU DOING OP?! THIS SHOULDN'T BE HAPPENING! WHAT ABOUT HUMAN NATURE?!
Ayy thanks, im doing SoftwareEngineering, looking into doing compsci for my masters after i finish my bachelor.
Have you read cockshott, he has really inspired me to be more interested in the in depth shit of it all.
...
At first I felt happy when I read this.
Then I felt sad that I didnt have this.
Now I feel angry that I dont have this.
I don't know why fullchan deleted my post, but I'll definitely check him out later tonight. Take care!
Eyyup, sure was. Funny enough, the only other interview I got was this banking firm an hour away. Guy said they were all about "the hustle", but all that really meant is they woulda worked me to death.
Oh, I live with my parents. Now that the internship's over, all I've got left to do is finish my degree and find somewhere I can pretend to work.
I was sad that I didn't have it anymore.
Then I was angry that others didn't have it at all.
But I'm happy that we can fight for it, together.
is this gommunism guise?
Puhlease
Communism: your mom does your laundry, gets your food, and works for a paycheck while you tinker with computers because feels.
NO BECAUSE MY ECON 101 TEACHER SAYS YOU HAVE NO INCENTIVES
In a higher phase of communist society, after the enslaving subordination of the individual to the division of labor, and therewith also the antithesis between mental and physical labor, has vanished; after labor has become not only a means of life but life's prime want; after the productive forces have also increased with the all-around development of the individual, and all the springs of co-operative wealth flow more abundantly – only then then can the narrow horizon of bourgeois right be crossed in its entirety and society inscribe on its banners: From each according to his ability, to each according to his needs!

Wew you fake ass leftcom
This is true, but at the same time OP's description is somewhat akin to communism. It isn't for multiple reasons: not only those listed there, but the fact that he's having to work within capitalism for free (because many starting jobs even for STEM majors require experience). That he enjoyed it made it feel subjectively similar to communism, but if he hadn't, then the experience could've felt significantly different.
compose music for leftypol, u fag.
start a yt channel take requests, etc
what is that supposed to mean? If you like your job, that's communism? i don't get the meme that you have to hate your job in a capitalist system (I certainly don't). I don't only work because I get paid, I work because it brings me joy and gives back to society. I also work on weekends sometimes, when I don't get paid. That's not communism, that's just doing something you like.
That is communism, sort of.
It means that it felt that way to OP, although it objectively isn't due to the social and material grounding of the situation.
I wasn't implying that.
The goal of communism is to develop and organise the productive forces so that everybody can do work because they want to do it, while taking what they need. No pay, no bosses, no profits, no class.
In that sense, OPS charity work and your "doing what you like" is communistic. OP didnt have to come in, he didnt get paid, it didnt make money, he didnt have a boss. OP just came in because he wanted to, and did work he liked that was given away for free to people who need it.
but he did all that because he was living off of the wage labor of his parents. that's not communistic, that's parasitic.
The microcosm of OPS work is communistic.
If you dont want to feed your children thats fine, but dont bother us with it.
This is where communism comes crashing head first into biology. What do you do with people who don't want to work - just because they don't feel like it? Additionally, what do you do when someone takes more than they feel they "need"? I know people who, if given the opportunity, would gladly do literally nothing all day and take freely. What is the communist solution to that?
Sounds great but without money how would you live? Seems like you're just living off your parents.
Let them. If we can have a society that allows this, why shouldnt we? Why should we force people to do work if we can make enough for everyone just by having everybody do what they want to? That is the endgoal, the ideal.
Why would you take more than you need? You think people are just evil comic book characters who are going to take all of the bread and throw it in the water?
but can you? whose passion in life is it to clean out clogged sewers? whose passion in life is it to freely go clean up public toilets? who just can't wait to efficiently take everyone's trash? my point is you probably can't have a surplus economy if it's just "do what you want" because most people don't want to mine for lithium but everyone wants a phone.
have you ever been to America?
You're using "just" to stop yourself from listing reasons why people might not want to work, instead resorting to "biology" like a magic sign without saying anything specifically biological.
Why would they do such a thing, though? These people don't live outside of time and society but within both. Of course, they would gladly do nothing all day within this one and possibly every society they may imagine because we imagine ourselves abstractly, as if outside of any society despite being a product of one and the material circumstances necessary for producing both that society and themselves as an individual.
These can all be automated. You are like a serf in 1500 saying that all people eating pork every day is impossible because pork is impossible to farm in such quantities. This kind of communism will happen in the future, by defintition when it is possible.
Nice try, thats not what you said.
You said that people would take more even though they didnt feel like they needed it, so just because. If you burgers want jumbo size, then take jumbo size.
Pretty much what said. I would've specified in the OP, but I figured most non-autists would've picked up on the nuance.
Hoo boy, where to begin? Assuming you're asking in good faith, see the "Pay" section of pic related. Money doesn't exist in an actual Communist society, which is one of many, many reasons why it's incompatible with Capitalism and must be preceded with Socialism.
Boy, really makes me think.
This guy gets it
He is spreading the MoP among the people. Absolutely progressive in my book, an communist to boot.
You might as well add the part where unicorns come down to give us all blowjobs.
You're misremembering. The infograph only skipped over the part where you give me a blowjob.
More effete utopian fantasy, the only thing you commies are good at.
There's actually a part where we shoot/imprison people like yourself but we often gloss over that for obvious reasons.
imagine my shock
Sounds rad can you arrange that?
Yeah, that's the part where you use state violence to maintain loyalty to the state but you're not a state
til post left anarchism = nazism
Yes, dog bless the state.
Reddit pls go and stay go
It's just too bad you didn't learn it sooner, Reddit.
