I can fix/make electronics. Don't know how useful that is in a commune that probably doesn't have a lot of electronics. I guess I can keep the latte machine maintained and working.
Communist =! Luddites. Just because they're choosing to live in a different social structure does not remove them from modern technology. You'd still be useful, up-skill to basic power systems to keep the lights on and you'd be golden.
You missed the joke. The joke was that the leftist commune only has to maintain their latte machine because there’s nothing else to do
As a software engineer, skills I think I could contribute are systems design, debuging, writing software, and also trash pickup on the back af the truck. I'd be happy to help build software tools that help people actually enjoy life, and also I eon't mind pitching in to my community.
I'm pretty good at repairing the means of production, so not to different here
No that's very useful.
Why would a commune not have electronics? I think they would.
I dunno, I guess when I hear "commune", I'm thinking some makeshift grass-eating hippie village. Not a modern community.
Gonna be a large commune to have mines, refineries and chip plants to make the PCBs.
Like what, 50k residents to start?
Man, homesteading sure has evolved!
