Tbf "Supreme Leader General Secretary of the Communist Party of the United Peopleβs Republic of the Solar System" is a dope ass title.
Also if I didn't suck at programming, meme communist games would be something I could see myself doing.
There will only be one banana and everyone will have to share.
Bonus: If you are in possession of the People's Banana and the People's Toothbrush at the same time you get on free spin on the magic prize wheel.
Man one of these days I really need to just sit down with like a bottle of wine and dive into that repo. I have it saved but just never got to it yet. Thanks for reminding me about it lol.
This sounds really good thanks! I got it pulled up in my phone and will grab an epub of it tonight for my e-reader.
From the wiki:
In the book Lafargue proposes the right to be lazy, in contrast to the right to work, which he deems bourgeois.
This definitely sounds like what I was wanting to explore. It's just been heavy on my mind and I was pretty hopeful someone had written about it.
I'm surprised I haven't heard of Lafargue before. Thanks for the rec.
Something that has been on my mind as I have been diving more into theory is what will happen to those that choose not to work "after the revolution."
I feel like at the time of Marx or Lenin, it was understood that manual labor war paramount to a productive society and the automation of the time made production more efficient with less manpower needed. But there was still this emphasis on how everyone will be a productive member of society in order to "earn their keep." The USSR, of course wasn't able to be 100% automated. So, I get that.
But we are in the early stages of an era of automation where there are going to be a lot less jobs needs that not everyone will be employed. But I also think that is a good thing. It's, imo, the obvious path our society needs to be striving for. Fewer people working, and less work needed due to fully or nearly fully automated systems of things like food or clothing. After all, we won't be striving for that infinite growth factor anymore.
The only thing I think I have seen that is close to an answer is that we will be working less so we will have more time to create. But that suggests that we will all still work but only, say 16 hours a week instead of 40-60. I think this definitely opens the opportunity for those that choose not to work, but do we call those people "parasites" and shun them? I don't think so. But I also don't know if this idea is fully realized in any text. At least not in any I've read yet.
Maybe this whole thing is just naturally lumped in with the old state "withering away"? Sorry for the sort of stream of thought comment btw.
Don't forget Monster energy drinks! /s sort of. I take a supplement though lol
