A samll time farmer barely making ends meet,is just as likely to be in hock to vast agribusinesses fertiliser companies,and banks as the part time Mcdonalds worker and has everything in common with fellow workers tryin ot bring in the post-capitalist future. Similarly lawyers opresently a part of the necesary infrastructur eof capitalism will not need to toil at the courtface.<br /><br /> In the moneyless world of socialism, where private property will not exist, the people currently involved in such occupations will be able to choose more rewarding and useful kinds of work. But this is only the beginning: restrictive practices and regulations that exist in capitalism, whether initiated by employers, governments, or trading-blocs such as the European Union, or even the defensive practices of trade unions, deliberately curtail a great deal of production.
