If I could start from scratch, maybe something. In my current condition I would probably just feel unproductive and guilty every day, with no personal direction of my own.

I would write and draw more. There's so many stories I wanna make. I might even take up some other medium like animation or something physical like sculpture or architecture. It would be fun to design spaces that don't need to have the soul sucked out of them to appear "mature" or "professional"
I feel like the fear of not making profits and not surviving pressures me into watering down everything I do so it's appealing to someone else. That's why art is strictly a hobby for me and not a career I wanna pursue
I'd hang out and enjoy the fruits of other people's time being sold. Pretty hard to think of a hobby that wouldn't cover.
I think about this at least a little bit most days.
I'd finish some video games again.
Work on more music, ideally practice piani again to get my theory back on track.
Make projects, communal gardening etc..
Outside the selfish self-enrichment kinda stuff, teach kids programming, and participate more in my hema club.
I'd play music for my community. It's alright by myself but I love an audience.
Get involved in whatever community food garden is around.
Make art. Give it away.
What would you when you get in this undefined yet not capitalist utopia and are forced to work long hours at a job you didn't choose to help further the cause of the revolution?
It'd give me more time to learn languages. I want to learn most Romance languages then later some Germanic languages. I'd have more time to read, study, and learn from the "For Dummies" series books I bought.
Without capitalism, I'd probably be serf like my great-grandparents were. There's a lot to criticize about capitalism, but it's still an improvement on its predecessor.
For a lot of people, it probably still doesn't feel dissimilar enough from serfdom, just with a lot more parties to be indebted/obligated to than your one feudal lord. Still at risk of becoming a landless vagrant if you don't keep up with your dues.
