    I think in the socialist utopia where everyone does only what they want to do, there would be shopkeepers. I’ve volunteered at a food bank, and I quite enjoyed it. I don’t think anyone would spend their life a shopkeeper. I think people would wander in, do it for a few months, and then move on.

      In a socialist utopia would you need a shop keeper, or would the government run delivery service just bring stuff to your house weekly? I’m thinking back to my youth when the milkman (or woman) would drive their electric truck to each house and drop off milk, cream and orange juice every morning.

      Then the sparrows or tits would come and Peck holes in the top of the cream and gobble the good stuff off the top.
