You think you don't have to get a job under communism? My man, if you don't want to work, capitalism is the much better system to bet on. Your labor can be overvalued under capitalism, letting you retire early. Under communism your value is equalized throughout the system regardless of your job. You work until you can't work. If you can work and you choose not to, the government stops giving you food and water, and reappropriates your house.

What you're thinking of is a Star Trek post-scarcity utopia. There's a reason it only exists in fiction.

Nothing us stopping you from putting together a commune right now. You could go and form a communist society with some of your friends. Let me know how it goes when you all want to sit on your ass doing nothing and the food doesn't just magically appear in front of you.
