Yeah a lot of these "antiwork" memes really miss the mark. Socialism doesn't mean you get to pick your own working hours either. Socialism doesn't mean nobody will dig ditches. Socialism doesn't mean everyone sits around playing video games.

There will still be labor, and there will still be bad bosses and bad jobs. Standing committees and unions generally don't spend much time worrying about the comfort of the individual.
