This has probably been mentioned before, but I would like to know what would happen to society under communism in the following areas:
Products - obviously all business would be de-privatised and given to the people, but what would happen to it? Would a vast majority of it be shut down as it has no real benefit other than entertainment (e.g. movie making, junk food, other culturally significant products)
Music/Sport - would there still be musicians/sportsmen? This may sound stupid, but if there was a communist society in place, would there be room for leisurely employment, or would it be kept as just a hobby/non-communal activity?
Education - whilst this would obviously be dramatically altered, i.e. great changes would need to take place in order to remove bias/hierarchy, how would it be decided what to teach? For example, there are obviously some subject that would be rendered redundant, such as economics/business studies, but would english/music lessons continue so as to encourage creativity, or would they be cut back in favour of subjects more beneficial to society in general?
Jobs - obviously there would be no worry of salaries and such, but who would decide who got what jobs if there was absolutely no vanguard in place? As obviously some jobs would be more popular than others right?
As you can see, Im still unsure about the fine details, so if you could help me that would be great! Thanks.
