The workload of running the world - how would the workers do

[commie kg]

Under communism, all people have a part in the democratic process, a participatory democracy.

How do the common working people handle all the work of being workers AND running the world?

I'm sure there's a way, I'm just curious. I guess I don't understand.

Thanks.

Decentralized grass root movements untied in a common front against capitalist agression under a single party with multiple factions. The system that exists today would be completely destroyed and upon its ashes new ideas will flourish.

Curiously, one thing we really don't know is how much "work" is actually necessary to maintain and improve what we would regard as a reasonable standard-of-living...and how much is useless crap that could easily be abolished.

I suspect there is a lot of crap...but I don't know.

But if I am right, then workers will have plenty of time to do what is necessary and go to meetings as well.

:cool:

I think that the industrial worker - meaning the proletariat that toil from day to day in huge factories - is a dwindling part of society. What we have now is varying levels of drones that consume, consume, and consume - at least in a 'developed' country. In the 'developing world' the 'proletariat' is the farm wage-labourer that toils in fields and farms all day long, sharecropping on corporate land.

Anyhow, I believe that as industries become more and more automated, there shall be increasingly less physical toil as manual labourers are replaced by efficient machines and robots. It seems inevitable, with the pace of automation, especially in fields such as auto construction and heavy vehicle manoefacturing.
