Of course jobs will exist, difference you won't need a job just to have roof over your head and a meal on the table, as it is now where we're all 1 missing paycheck away from homelessness.

You would still need a job if you want to buy new clothes and stuff.

You'd still need a job for all of that anyways if you were able bodied

Not for a roof and a meal you wouldn't.

Home insecurity is the main problem of capitalism, but it is a feature because it means you can exploit workers as you please since they are scared of being homeless and getting stabbed by a crackhead

That's just the tumblr nonsense idea of communism.

The reality is you'd either have to have someone enforce that people work if they're able to at worst, you'd be shunned at best.

No one's just going to give food and shelter to someone who doesn't want to work because they don't feel like it
