This argument quickly falls apart upon closer examination. To refer to the Communist Manifesto:
<blockquote>"It has been objected that upon the abolition of private property, all work will cease, and universal laziness will overtake us.<br><br>

According to this, bourgeois society ought long ago to have gone to the dogs through sheer idleness; for those of its members who work, acquire nothing, and those who acquire anything do not work. The whole of this objection is but another expression of the tautology: that there can no longer be any wage-labour when there is no longer any capital." —Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels<ref>[https://www.marxists.org/archive/marx/works/1848/communist-manifesto/ch02.htm ''Manifesto of the Communist Party'', Ch. 2. "Proletarians and Communists"] (1848).</ref></blockquote>
