    I love how this question ignores the consequences of not working in the current system, and that modern forms of forced labor are both common and do exist.

    And inb4 you reply: no, I don’t support communism but your question made me chuckle.

      You can go beg and be homeless in the current system. In Communism, you get sent to gulag.

        The mother of a friend of mine was homeless in the GDR. She got a flat, she got education, she got work, she got a nice family, she had healthcare, they bought a house. My friend is much worse off now.

        Ah, yeah, communism equals gulag bc there are no other possible ways of doing communism. And good thing you can be poor and homeless now, sounds like a grand ol’ time! Just ignore the fact that some folks do pretty crime bc they’d rather spend time in jail for a guaranteed meal and shelter, but w/e, at least it’s not Disney fairytale communism.
