This was a question or rather a series of questions I heard over the weekend as I was discussing Marxism, class, labour etc. with a friend and I frankly couldn't really answer their questions. So here I am again asking it because this community provides incredible answers <3

The discussion was about work and their question was: "If class is abolished in communism and the people are taken care of, why would anyone work at all? Who is going to work in coffee shops, pick up trash, work in stores etc.? What would be the incentive for people to do anything productive?" I did my best saying that those jobs would still exist, but I kind of fumbled the argument.

People really do be asking: "But if I had no way to force others to do what I want, who would do the stuff then?" "Please don't take away my slaves. I will treat them well enough PLS PLS PLS PLS don't do the communism I want an involuntary slave :("

And this is why we can't have nice things.

Just so people understand I added involuntary to make sure i don't scare away all the cucks, don't worry there will still be a cuck chair you can consent to in communism. You can watch others do all the work if that's what you enjoy.
