People say this but clean their own toilets and take out their own trash literally every day. We could go on an talk about capitalist overproduction and production for profit over production for need creates too much garbage, but I doubt its necessary.
You are correct. I would like to add that in rural areas, one also has to act as their own garbage collection service and drive their garbage to the dump, which should be 50 miles or more away.
Having 10 billion vehicles constantly taking trash to a dump because of how unstructured and disorganized the economy would be is hugely inefficient in a lot of ways
They take their own trash out to the dumpster, where now they don’t have to think about it, and once it overflows because nobody wants to be the one dealing with other people’s trash, “not my problem”
I’ve had some strange responses to this when I suggested that under communism not every job would pay the same. Apparently loads of people would love to do soul destroying jobs like ER or IC nursing for the same amount of money I get paid to write shitty code
There are jobs that generally no one wants to do but everyone needs done. You can’t rely on pure volunteerism to keep garbage collection running.

Especially for 8 billion people. Regardless, your point stands.

Also a lot of these “soul destroying jobs” would stop being one when there’s enough people working on those
What if not enough people want to do them? Your going to need to find some way to attract enough people to those roles
Even if everyone is “paid” the same, you still can control how much hours 1 person should do their roles.
Indeed. In effect paying someone a higher wage for their time.
I would probably still be a nurse after a revolution lol
