    Yeah, I think it’s a fallacy to treat hobbies as work, and work as a hobby.

    Whether we love it or hate it, work has to be done. It doesn’t have to, or should be dreadful, but ultimately it is fundamentally different to a hobby. Completely different mindset too, everyone that has turned they hobby into their main source of income will tell you it just becomes “a job”.

    Work needs deadlines, planning, discipline, efficiency, communication, accounting, expectations and competition. Hobbies are relaxing and enjoyable precisely because it isn’t these.

    You can still love your job, but I wanted to convey that despite what many may wish, most people cannot handle, or enjoy, their hobby becoming their job

    Industry in an anarchist society will need to heavily rely on organization, professionals, and education preparing the next generation of those professions. It’s naive to think that members of a community garden could run a 500 acre farm, or similar.
