Imagine taking a day off from work in a future without capitalism.
It might not feel as badly needed as it does now. You enjoy your work; it’s interesting to you, and you’re well trained for it. You work as much as you are able and no more than needed, and you would control your own labor and see it going to good use. It’s not just a job to pay the bills.
These are all familiar, everyday activities. A socialist day off could be like any good day now. But what if you were free to spend your time how you like without worrying about cost or dreading going back to work? What if you didn’t have to think about paying rent or loans at the end of the month, or saving for college, or affording groceries? You have no debt. You don’t need health insurance. You don’t pay a mortgage or have a landlord, because comfortable housing is a human right. Your retirement is publicly funded. Food, education, energy, medicine, and transportation aren’t for-profit businesses; they are common goods and utilities.
OK, enough about bills. What do you do on your day off? Maybe in the morning, you walk your kids to school, run errands, or go to a doctor’s appointment. In the afternoon, you might play a sport, practice a new skill, read, plan a trip. In the evening, you could meet up with friends or family and eat together, maybe go to the movies or down to the park.

Every single time this has been tried all over the world it has failed. No matter the people, no matter the country, no matter the time, no matter the place.
It just does not work.
You pretend to work and they pretend to pay you plus you never get a day off
This is hilarious. In reality, you labor as the all-powerful state demands.
The only difference is You Have No Freedom in their Utopia , you are watched and controlled 24/7/365
You work at a government job...
You live in government housing...
You eat government food...
And you will take a day off...
When the government tells you!
Probably for a day of free socialist labor on May Day!!!

In reality, days off will be left to the imagination.
What children! What immature, childish “thinking.”
Yes, it’s a very old Soviet joke: “We pretend to work and they pretend to pay us.”
These people are crazeeee
If you don’t pay for anything, then why do you need retirement pay? Asking for a friend.
They really are making it all look like Earthtopia.
Do any of them read the short history of the 20th century?
> comfortable housing is a human right.
Sounds great. Can I be on the receiving side and not on the slave side?
Eat that rainbow stew with a silver spoon and drinking that free bubble up.🙄
The mask is off.
This entire... Piece.. is saying nothing.
Going to a park with your kids? You can walk. That’s your day off.
And you can go to a park. End of story.
Great. Sign me up.
Get back to work, comrade.
