Under capitalism, a lot of the time, highly dangerous jobs are also highly paid. Kind of a balance that the individual decides to engage with. Same idea behind getting an advanced degree in STEM or law. I think of my job by example, I’m a power plant operator at a large combined cycle plant. No fucking shot I’d be doing this if the pay wasn’t good. I’m around explosive and deadly hot shit all day.
Under Maoism or Stalinism, aka the dictatorship of the dictator pretending to act for the proletariat? You are ordered to do it, for your own good and the good of the Party. If you don’t follow orders, you just get shot; and your family is put in a prison camp, your children raped and beaten and forced to labor.
Under real stateless, classless communism? Nobody knows, because that hasn’t existed yet. Anyone claiming to know exactly how it might operate is talking out of their hat. Marx is pretty clear on that.
I mean, there was a time before states and classes were invented.
Yeah, where the dangerous job was “hunt something so you don’t starve”, the motivation for doing the dangerous job is pretty obvious.
Not if you live in any kind of group. “Why should I go hunt? You do it.” And then I get excluded from the group - that could still happen.

If you’re interested, you could look it up.
Here’s a quick start.

I genuinely appreciate the shithead responses. Thats how I handle threads a lot of the time too.
Not meant purely as shithead responses. I can’t contribute anything substantial to the discussion but I’m interested, so I’m throwing out random thoughts to bits and pieces and trying not to sound like I consider myself an authority on anything.
You are describing shit head responses.
Yes, generally outside the context of civilization though. Combining stateless and classless with civilization is the hard part.
