I'm not talking about drug dealers or gangsters, I'm talking about insurance company workers, the multitude of people whose entire job is to mark down large parts of the population as defectives, much of the guard labor which serves no function other than terrorizing the people, and various things which are not only legal but actively praised in the economy. At least drug dealers are providing some commodity of value to someone, however much I don't like it, and in my experience there is little difference between mafia racketeers and the government that enables them and operates corrupt political machines.

Teaching is actually a perfect example of a job which can be trivially parallelized.
There's no need to have the same teacher teaching different subjects, years, or classes. You do want each class to have a single teacher for each subject, but that only requires about 4-8 hours per week.
My main objection to this is that free will doesn't really exist. Making people starve to death for something they have no control over (their brain structure) seems cruel.
I think it's a capitalist myth that living on welfare is easy or enjoyable. It comes with a huge social stigma and constant harassment by the authorities. If people are choosing that life over a well paid job, then it's not unreasonable to say they have a mental illness.

I am from the US, on SSI. I plan on staying on it as long as I can. I believe that basic income will be implemented. Look up "basic income". If I am taken off SSI, my parents will probably still support me. So my parents might support me for a while before basic income is implemented, but I believe it will be implemented.

Fuckind dumb. One TOW missile that our government gives out like candy to terrorists in syria costs 30k. The most you are going to get from the government in welfare is like 900 cash 200 and like 800 if you can get section 8. That's like less than 24k a year. So for less than the cost of a TOW missile that government sponsored terrorists fire will nilky at piles of rocks I could be living(and subsidizing local business)? No I don't feel guilty in the slightest of taking from the government. Also the effect is beyond meaningless on the budget whether I do it or not.
Imagine thinking the neoliberal ghouls save on welfare they wont spend on the military and tax breaks and subsidies for the wealthy.
Imagine saying this.
And still having the audacity to call people LARPers.

IMO, it's true that a committed socialist should try to work for a living (unless they're severely disabled or something ig), but not for "muh optics".
Socialism is a movement of the working class, for the sake of the emancipation of labor. That's just not congruent with welfare-leeching, optically speaking or not.

This still sounds like some woo woo shit. Especially considering the dudes who came up with the whole shabang were never laborers.
