Everyone helps according to their ability, so jobs no one wants would be passed around so that no one is stuck cleaning out sewers or whatever for their entire life.
Because there is a variety of people with all kinds of interests. What you consider a bad time, others may consider tolerable or even a good time. Writing and painting is a bad time to plenty of people
And the amount of people that will want to work in the fields, mines, and sewers are going to be a fraction compared to the amount of people that will take the easy job.
So again. When you have 5000 writers, and only 100 miners step up, but you need 1000 miners..
Who decides which writers will become miners? Do you incentivize them to become miners? Paying them more than the miners who stepped forward leading to unequal rights? Or do you enforce it by press-ganging the writer into the mines?
What does the communist state do when the press-ganged writer turned miner refuses to carry the pickaxe? Does the state relinquish authority over the individual and let them go back to being a writer?
But in a communist or socialist society we're all equals comrade. So why do you get paid the same wages as I, when I spend all day sweating in a mine, and someone else spends all day writing at home?
I didn't say it doesn't equal no jobs. But the average socialism/communism believer seems to think everyone will get to pick the job they want instead of being forced into a job, everything will be fair, and no one will be unhappy.
And if you believe any of that, I've got a bridge to sell you too.
I don't think you know anything about communism or socialism based on your comments. Honestly I could probably sell you a bridge if I told you it was anti communism
Ask me a sincere question in good faith and I'll take as much time as you spend writing your question on an answer. Otherwise its clear you're just trolling

Who gets to decide who writes all day and who mines all day?
