I think that actually I keep my job under Justin's plan, as a consultant to plant management syndicates on the optimum investment of their allocation of performance-related pay claim certificates. Unless he's changed his mind in the meantime, or unless we achieve enough of a state of utopia for me to spend the whole day talking crap around a pub table.
But even under a fully planned economy, there's bound to be a nice cushy job for me in a planning agency or as a salesman or propagandist. That's why I'm not particularly worried about Charles B's periodic threats to have me sent off to a re-education camp (always with the camps! what is it about Leninists and the great outdoors? gimme the textbooks and I'll re-educate myself at evening classes) .
Even the most ideologically pure of totalitarian regimes tend to be tolerant towards bright lads who do what they're told. It's bolshy buggers like the rest of lbo-talk who end up against the walls :P
dd, awaiting the revolution
