If your communist environment can't accommodate loners who don't like being bossed around, it's no communist environment I want to be part of.

It might be where I live and the types of places I volunteer, but the coordinators have all been super chill and let people assign themselves to do whatever they want to do out of tasks x, y, and z. Not like a shift at a job even though there are clearly people in charge

There is an unfortunate mix of people who want to be left to their own devices and who hate authority who somehow think they would thrive in an anti-authoritarian envrionment where people help each other have the tools for self-sufficient autonomy.

Huh, I wonder who the person who merely likes Solarpunk for the aesthetics is in this thread...
