Let’s say that the many, many people who are needed to do (relatively) unskilled labor such as restaurants, factory, retail, etc. are not needed to do those jobs anymore due to them being fully automated.
It’s relatively easier to automate those sorts of jobs, but what about the ones that require much more skill: doctors, lawyers, plumbers, electricians. These would take more time to automate compared to the more basic jobs. So when these basic jobs are all lost due to automation, but the skilled ones are remaining, what would a communist/socialist society do to solve this?
Would they force some people to learn how to do these needed jobs in case of a shortage? Would they allow the unemployed masses to survive without labor? What do you think?
As socially necessary labor is reduced, leisure time and liberty increase for everyone. More time for learning, more time for people to provide for their neighbors, more time for research and development.
Society, through some mechanism, will provide incentives for these jobs. We will make it easier to learn these jobs, easier to execute these jobs. People who still work will probably get festival days in their honor. Their jobs will be supported by a network of people who reduce the stress and strain. Some jobs may become communally executed instead of individually executed, in order to maintain quality, continuity, and support.
