      What researchers have to do in socialism: Research

      What researchers have to do in capitalism: Research, apply for third-party research grants, give presentation to company representatives why they should greenlight the research grant, do paperwork breaking down how you plan to spend the research grant, do paperwork breaking down how you actually spent the research grant, grade exercise sheets for first semesters, write a quarterly report about the results of your research, rewrite your crashed report from memory because your faculty system still uses Windows 95, contemplate suicide (briefly), publish a brief review about some bullshit because you need to meet your weekly publishing requirements, do side jobs to make rent, subcontract critical work to the company which gave you the grant and then take the blame when it doesn’t come back in time, renew your subscription to predatory proprietary scientific journals
