In most socialist societies working is also expected... I'd expect automatization to help with that in a true socialist society though. On the other hand, I am not sure that a society without work would function. But a 20h week would defintely be much preferable.
One would hope work would be significantly less miserable under socialism though
Do you reckon it really would? Hopefully you might be materially better off for it if the system is working well, but would it really do anything about the drudgery or frustration, or unmet ambitions?
