I was debating with an anti-communist on bebo ( a friend) and he said about lazy. And i said there would be a vote on what to do with him i.e not give him new clothes untill he works or other sanctions. And he said something i had never considered before....the old palls act, if hes your mate you would not vote against him. I then said the vote wouldnt be personal: "What do we do with people who refuse to work". He then said who decides whos not working?

Would there be people whos job is checking on who works an who does'nt? If so is that not a state? And could it get corrupt.....or would there be a computer system? A card that says i you've worked so that you can get what you want i.e new computer. Or an elected leader of an area deside...if so he'd need informers

I think you would have peoples' Commissars that are a part of the working force with everyone else. However, they also act as monitors for the, say factory. These commissars don't hold any privilidged positions but do answer to the committee. And, I suppose you could have a certain timed term for them so the personal level is not a problem.

the people decide who's not working

looking out for your "friends" who do not work at all and sit back while consuming all of society would be stupid and detrimental to your own situation, since they get to sit on their asses while you work all day. Now what "friend" would do that? Would you call such a person your friend? i wouldnt.

The workers would notice that someone isn't coming to work and would discuss this in the designated council on what to do with the absent worker. If the worker would be sick this would be notifyed of the community itself to the specific council.

Ideally shouldn't the goal be to defeat the purpose of lazy by providing comfortable working conditions fair wages flexible hours etc and most importantly by allowing people to choose to be trained in the job that they want, creating a realistic eqaulity of opportunity...Im sure almost ever able bodied person has something they want to do that they could potentially do as a job but can't afford to go back to school/whatever.

I would think that someone in that situation would be so seriously alienated by the rest of society that he would either have to work or move away. Work in a communist society, however, is far different from work in a capitalist one and should be understood as such in that work should no longer be alienating, unsatisfactory, unrewarding, or undesired.
