Communist workplace guidance

[Ĝasper]

There's an abundance of capitalist self help literature about work, and also Christian guidance. But I'm looking for good, interesting communist guidance. Not stuff on agitation and strikes. Just stuff on good team work, managing personality clashes, dealing with lazy bastards, etc.

Lazy bastards can be rehabilitated by a brief spell in the salt mines.

Manage personality clashes by sending mouthy members of staff to kolyma

Encourage others to exceed their work norms?

This is supposed to be good but not read it yet: Disenfranchised Thought his Rise of the Red Engineers was excellent.

I was in a flat share with a siberian. Her roots on one side were communist exiles who tried to bomb the tsar, and on the other side, old toffs deported after 1917! Fascinating place.

Hmm, I'm not sure that's such a good idea tbh...

too tired to join in the jokes, but the answer is of course to have more well minuted meetings

Good luck making that work with large groups of people!

Larger than what? Large enough to run a light railway? Large enough to build a railway?

More meetings is not going to lead to success, well minuted tho those meetings may be.

Disruptive elements will undergo self-criticism sessions

I'm not sure how well that all worked out in the long run.

Let's send Idaho down a mine for a few days and see how he gets on

Larger than what? Large enough to run a light railway? Large enough to build a railway?

Probably larger than one person would be a problem

The same could be said about the entire communist experiment.

How's the capitalist experiment working out?

That’s the most optimistic assessment I’ve seen in a while.

I’m sure it will take no more than a few seconds thought for you to work out this is nonsense.

The jokes made me smile. But it vexes me that we are so focused on the regimes, rather than a communism in practice.

Tbh I am still a bit confused by the request in the OP - is it for good communist guidance, on working in a capitalist workplace, with a non-class-struggle focus? That is a very niche category if so.

I don’t think I’ve worked in a workplace with a class struggle focus.

I did a linoprint based on this a bit ago.

But do you have any communist guidance to offer?

 

[8ball]

No, I’ve worked in workplaces where class struggle and reproduction was the emergent product.
