Okay? I'd rather do that than eat it from the rich. It's not like you can't wear protective equipment or anything. Heck, give me a set of coveralls and I would wade waist-deep in a septic tank on the daily in return for a society that has no homelessness, no famine, no medical debt, universal access to healthcare and education, to live in a world without pedophile billionaires and corporations constantly fucking us all over for a percentage and for their own sick pleasures. Do you really not see how that would be a better world?
Socialism > communism
I'm an anarchist! If you haven't heard much about anarchism before, you probably have some misconceptions about it, so I encourage you to watch the Q&Anarchy video series by Thought Slime or have a look through an Anarchist FAQ, because it's almost definitely nothing like what you think. I personally believe that it's the most coherent philosophy which adequately explains and addresses all of the problems which plague our society, and which holds the most promise for a path out of the inevitable cycle of the continuous rise and fall of fascism that capitalism makes inevitable.
I'll check it out.
Counter point: If there is no reason for some people who are capable of contributing to society to actually contribute, at least a good portion of those people will not, but they'll still take from the system.
The inequity is inherent. There needs to be SOME reward for effort aside from pure altruism.
Edit: the guy with the Patreon shit-talking capitalism is hilarious.
I'm not convinced
I appreciate that, thanks for hearing me out.
This is well known as the "free rider problem", and the extent to which it is a problem and how it can be addressed is widely discussed by anarchists. I'm sure everyone must be getting sick of me referencing it by now, but our old friend an anarchist FAQ addresses the issue in great detail, but I'll quote a few relevant paragraphs:
We still live in a capitalist society, despite how much we are trying to change that. People need to make money to pay bills under capitalism or else they'd starve, go homeless, etc. You can be an anti-capitalist and still make money. Having a Patreon is a lot more principled than taking sponsorships and ad deals, for example, because it is an entirely voluntary system.
It all sounds great, but the same people who end up rich would still seek power and control and ruin the system for others.
The entire purpose of the system is to make it impossible to become rich and to ensure no one has power over others. That is the literal foundation principle of anarchism, from the greek an-archos, meaning without rulers.
Again, I encourage you to watch the Q&Anarchy video series by Thought Slime or have a look through an Anarchist FAQ, these sources will address your concerns in a lot more detail than I will!
Even if you would be willing to do that, I doubt there would be enough to make a system like this work.
There's a reason plumbers are so well paid.
Well, you can believe whatever you want to believe, I'm not going to stop advocating for a better world just because you're a bit squeamish. Nobody is going to tolerate living in a society without functioning sewage systems, so the work would get done, either way, simply because it has to. I think you're just straight up self-evidently wrong.
