Honestly, if all of my wants and needs were taken care of, I would still be a welder and work. I love what I do and take immense pride in my work. I even bought my own welding machine and setup to do it at home in my off hours.
Id continue to help out domestic abuse victims, do art, build shit etc; just now I dont have some dickhead threating to kick me out of my house every month if I dont pay a ransom of half of my wages.
To really make you feel better, DV and other forms of abuse would likely decrease significantly under communism because the power dynamics of relationships would change significantly. Not to say it wouldn’t still exist to an extent but there’s a lot to be said of using money to make someone feel trapped.
Yeah through my work the most common factor in whats preventing the situation from changing is the inability to move houses due to a lack of avilable social ones.

It’s about freeing you from the alienation from your own labor, as described in The Germany Ideology in all three versions by Karl Marx.
Three versions?
There were three drafts of The German Ideology, though most people remember the first and third one.
Very good at explaining things in Marxism that come later.
Do you know what the key differences are between the versions? Or any links to them?
Personally I’d still want to be a pc builder
