Good point about our imagination being limited by living under capitalism. I honestly just never considered that… As far as I know, under socialism, people still have a specialized profession. But you’re correct, communism may well be different. Having a more generalist lifestyle is an interesting thought… Could anyone here share any sources to read more about it?
Why does a communist society imply working both on the fields, as engineer and as administration for a few hours each day? (Not like I’d be too opposed to that, I just don’t see why it would be like that under communism.
There’s nothing wrong about starting with Das Kapital. But most who are just learning about Marxism-Leninism will consider it too difficult and too hard to understand probably — I read the first 4 chapters of Das Kapital so far (then I had to delay further reading because I no longer had the time or energy, I should continue somewhen), and I had to really study it like some people study math, i. e. write out all the important information in points, draw some scheme to visualize it, etc., so not exactly an easy book to start with. I started with Imperialism As The Highest Stage Of Capitalism, it was much easier and still addressed important aspects.
Look how the girl is arranging the bricks. That’s authoritarian! She’s infringing on the bricks’ freedom! She must be an anarcho-tankie secretly!
"Anarcho-tankie":
The only place where I saw that term was an western anarchist take that’s so bad, it’s hilarious. Apparently, “anarcho-tankies” are anarchists who are actually concerned about getting things done and not unquestioningly accepting western propaganda. (Honestly, that’s what to be expected of Raddle. I avoid that place, but someone posted a link on the dev instance, and I was too curious not to click… If you want to laugh and/or cry at it too, see: https://web.archive.org/web/20200903171225/https://raddle.me/f/Anarchism/117740/the-disturbing-trend-of-anarcho-tankies-we-ve-been-seeing).
