This was a question or rather a series of questions I heard over the weekend as I was discussing Marxism, class, labour etc. with a friend and I frankly couldn't really answer their questions. So here I am again asking it because this community provides incredible answers <3

The discussion was about work and their question was: "If class is abolished in communism and the people are taken care of, why would anyone work at all? Who is going to work in coffee shops, pick up trash, work in stores etc.? What would be the incentive for people to do anything productive?" I did my best saying that those jobs would still exist, but I kind of fumbled the argument.

hehe autism gives you telepathy (but only with other autistic people; you cannot use it with neurotypical people, and in fact, you have a harder time understanding them). If you are communist, the telepathy effect is heightened to a significant degree. Oh, you can also use telepathy with neoliberal autistic people, but you might not want to because talking to neoliberals causes a debuff to your communication stat.
