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.

My thoughts exactly.
...spray painting large cheese traders and saying “ Look what I can do”!! ( aka Stuart from madtv)
That’s the truth.
I've done all of that and more living in a Capitalistic society.
DSA, where is all that "publicly funded" money coming from?
Imagine fairies flying out of your bum every time you farted.
By Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn to see what happens to people who think they have the freedom to do anything the state doesn't approve of.
look at the drug dealer
telling you about the great high
to get you hooked
what do you do on your day off?
stand in line with your ration card
Is socialist utopia where we all have fun jobs (if we choose to work), who cleans the sewers? And who gets to live at the beach?

I knew a guy from Cuba. He had a job assigned by the government. He would skip work and split his pay with his boss. In Cuba, to survive, people work a black market somehow. Families will sell their daughters as prostitutes, and it is normal. And the Cubans are lucky compared to the North Koreans.
No. I refuse.
Utopia (/ juːˈtoʊpiə / ⓘ yoo-TOH-pee-ə) A place that doesn’t exist
The only hope for America lies in doing two things:
Deport all Muslims
Jail the leadership of DSA
“Guarantee universal healthcare at no cost to individuals, including complete access to reproductive and gender-affirming care. Expand healthcare access and quality by investing in new public hospitals and clinics. Make all medical education and training public and free.”
And the quality will be amazing, right?
LOL these people are children
The most patriotic socialists will of course want to be plumbers and janitors and garbage men working for free to make sure everyone else can have a good day and always have clean toilets everywhere the public goes…
A day off under communism? “What’s a day off?” Do the Uyghurs get a day off? Probably not.
Something for nothing, no bills, you’re going to like your job, blah, blah, blah. It never works that way, because it simply can’t.
My great grandfather had his retirement stolen from him by the ideological brothers of these assholes, and when (suffering from cancer and unable to work) he rented out his house (the only thing that they let him keep), they MURDERED him at age 74. 3/4 of his descendants lived as serfs on the Soviet plantation for 3 generations.
PHUCK these people, they KNOW it won’t work, they just want to destroy this country and inflict misery and death on the rest of us. Well, assholes, I (unlike my great grandfather, have more choices…and if you ever come to power, you will face opposition, LOTS of it.
“Jail the leadership of DSA”

No. Lenin and Stalin were jailed, and how did that work out?
Shoot them.
