I often daydream about a long train that's also a co-op with a sleeper car and all that. I also like the idea of walking mechs that are also homes.
Nice future thread
Sweet
first of all: this thread idea is based and redpilled. second of all: i want to have a little hippie cottage by a river and a big cannabis garden and robot servants who all speaking in charming Brooklynese
I just want to live in a small home near a forest with my qt wife. I don't want to deal with paper work, I'm happy to do what ever labour is necessary, and all I need to entertain myself are paper, pencils, some good books and a few good frens. I, I think I've had enough of this internet thing. I'm down with movies and games and technology, but they don't really make me happy. Tech's application in capitalist society seems warped, and causes people to become stupider more often than not. I guess I'd see how such things develop, I just want a simple life with healthcare, community and 0 bullshit.
this. Nothing would be better than working 6 hours a day doing mildly physical work while listening to music, going home to a healthy family, spending time with the people you love while also advancing your own hobbies and interests. I think most communists have a fairly simple idea of happiness, it is unfortunate capitalism is incapable of delivering even this.
tbh, I don't even mind work that's actually physically demanding, so long as it's not sustained for long periods, or done to the point of injury. I'd love to do some simple physical work some days, a bit of chill office work another. I'd like to think that under a well establish socialist system, people would learn all kinds of skills, and change jobs every once in a while. I can easily imagine a surgeon wanting to take a break by doing some forklift driving for a week, when wage isn't on the table.

Alright, so I've got a bit of autism I've been thinking about for a while. Thoughts for near-future socialist home development.
Replacing a lot of the shitty, pointless capitalist cookie-cutter suburb blocks with luxury apartment complexes. Four or so apartment blocks in a large circular ring surrounding a communal recreational/wellness center/park. Outdoor pool, exercise equipment, places for people to do certain sports. On the outside of the ring, a large open space for more natural things, a broad open park that's intentionally allowed to give way to more wild areas.
By design, the actual homes in the apartment blocks are to be set up rather minimalist in design - Rather than focusing on each person being entirely self-sustained, the focus would rather move to larger, better equipped, better functioning, and more social setups. There might be a small offering for food or media in each, but the primary focus would be getting people to head out to the cafeteria building where locals work together on preparing food for people to take. Electronics and gaming comes as its own building too, again, with a focus on getting people to come together more and more often. It removes much of the need for people to each have their own individual good, putting more resources into the communal goods and cutting enormously on wasteful things sitting around for no reason.
Work is also provided for many here, with a split time schedule of two days of labor on a preferred specialized task like cooking or handling administrative duties, and two days spent doing more menial tasks like just maintaining the neighborhood and keeping it clean, and three days of rest and relaxation.
Access is provided by a bus loop around the ring, that visits a train station on a regular basis. There's also the option for a small number of cars to be loaned out, stored in a garage under the administrative building for certain things.
It's not a fancy cool picture of life in the future or the like, I'm just trying to think of some way to re-structure life in a way that people today can understand, that maybe might help people get some sense of "community" back.
I want the world to go up in flames and humanity to perish. Without people there can be no class society.
A building like 10×10 Amazon warehouses glued together. Most walls inside can be easily detached and moved around, you just have to move a lever on both sides. Short room height compensated for by using furniture without legs. Stairs for going up, slides for going down. Circular windows with polarized filters that can be rotated. Communal eating rooms and washing-machine room. System for automatic delivery of small packages. Big conveyor belt to move people around (stand on the right side, walk on the left side). 10-day week (see pic).
