Do communists have Mondays off?
Can't hate just Monday when there's no weekend to end.
Even in a world where workers fully own all the means of production, we're gonna have a lot of jobs that just have to be done and are only done for the pay. Communism's interpretation varies wildly, but usually money is still a thing -- nobody claims all types of work should be paid equally, just that all work should pay living wages and it shouldn't be disproportionately going to investors or the people at the top. There's obviously still gonna be retail jobs, manual labour, and dirty work. Paying well doesn't make them not work.
So yeah, the post is kinda bullshit. That said, it is better to go to work if you're getting a living wage out of it, but you're probably still gonna hate Mondays.
