Jobs and Buildings that depend on capitalism to exist - post-revolution

[AK]

Post-revolution, what will happen to all those jobs and buildings that depend on the existence of competing companies or the monetary system to exist? What will happen to the workers? I imagine that the homeless could be given new homes in the office towers, but what happens those office workers?

Well they could be relocated to jobs that are actually productive. Even if they are unemployed for awhile it simply isn't horrible to conserve labour. Especially considering their jobs weren't contributing terribly much to begin with.

I suppose.
Haha, I just thought of something. Those office workers become construction workers and bulldoze the inner-city homes of the bourgeoisie in favour of land for factories :lol:

Not the most complete of lists but a useful one anyway from an old WSM pamphlet - how we live and how we might live
http://www.worldsocialism.org/spgb/pdf/fcts.pdf As for the homeless, like I said in another post here in Spain there are currently 3 million - yes 3 million - empty homes. This is to say nothing of the millions of square metres of empty office space, warehousing etc which will be greatly expanded when capitalism goes and functions like banking disappear, leaving behind the empty husk that is the bank building. The workers who previously worked in capitalist institutions like banks will of course have the opportunity to engage in whatever socially useful form of production they put their mind to. The sky is the limit!

Yes, I'm well aware of this. I read your post in the other thread and it was the reason why I started this thread :thumbup1:

I'm guessing alot of the capitalist bureaucracy would be relocated to productive jobs and therefore contribute to a general increase in production.
