THE IDEAL OF SOCIALIST SOCIETY
posting by "God hates fakes",22, m, Minnesota, USA
because under socialism, there would be,
1. Free education from pre-school, to the highest levels of grad school. Meaning, anyone who wants any sort of job can have, any sort of job they like, so long as they're willing to put the time into it.
2. There would be zero unemployment. Meaning, all workplaces would be flooded with workers, and has already been mentioned previously, everyone could do shifts of the shit work (say a couple hours a month), until the shit work is completely phased out by robots.
3. People would be making a lot more money, and working a lot less. Thus, playing on the argument of "people are naturally greedy and want to get ahead", well now they can find other clever ways of getting ahead, THAT DON'T INVOLVE WORK. Which goes into number 4...
4. And since the work week would be dramatically reduced, and wages increased, people would start to realize "holy crap, I'm *not* just my job!! Who knew that I could paint, or write, or dance, or sing, or play the guitar/piano/accordian/kazoo/spoons so well??"
Which isn't to mention the fact that we'd have socialist scientists working in cooperation with each other, for the common good, as opposed to working in competition with each other, working for profit. Meaning, cures for diseases will be discovered a lot quicker, and will be a lot cheaper, and more accessible.
Those are as good incentives as any if you ask me.
