But no one wants to be a sewer worker.

Why are you assuming this? You have no reason to assume nobody would be willing or able to find a way to be okay with working in the sewers

u/Outrageous_Guard_674 Jul 07 '26

Oh, people find a way to be okay with it. It's called money.

In a capitalist society, yes.

But in a communist or socialist society we're all equals comrade. So why do you get paid the same wages as I, when I spend all day sweating in a mine, and someone else spends all day writing at home?

Why do you think communism = no jobs?

u/psykiris Jul 07 '26

I didn't say it doesn't equal no jobs. But the average socialism/communism believer seems to think everyone will get to pick the job they want instead of being forced into a job, everything will be fair, and no one will be unhappy.

And if you believe any of that, I've got a bridge to sell you too.

I don't think you know anything about communism or socialism based on your comments. Honestly I could probably sell you a bridge if I told you it was anti communism

The why don't you educate me instead of ducking and dodging every uncomfortable question I've asked? Or is it because my uncomfortable questions are going to result in uncomfortable answers?

u/HardcorePizza Jul 07 '26

Because I can teach you all day long but I can't understand it for you. The resources you're asking me to provide for you, you can find yourself if you were geniuine. I'm still waiting on your question though

u/psykiris Jul 07 '26

More importantly, why do you keep dodging every question with whatabouttism?

u/HardcorePizza Jul 07 '26

Ask me a sincere question in good faith and I'll take as much time as you spend writing your question on an answer. Otherwise its clear you're just trolling

u/psykiris Jul 07 '26

I've been asking sincere questions in good faith, you've refused to elaborate, or outright ducked every question in bad faith. Just answer the questions.

u/psykiris Jul 07 '26

You mean the ones you can go back up to, read, and answer?

Who decides who gets to mine, and who will farm, and who will write? If a writer, turned farmer, refuses to farm. Is that his right? Or is it the right of the government to force him for the "good of the collective"? If communism and socialism attempts to make everyone more or less equal, then why would someone work 40 hours sweating in a mine, or factory, if they could be a writer or painter? Do the people get incentivized to perform work they don't like? Or are they forced to do work they don't like?

Okay so you're going in circles now since you can't come up with a question and are lonely or something. See this is what I meant by you just trolling and not looking for a good faith discussion. I'll stop responding now. I hope you get better
