Comment on it's a matter of motivation

Would you work if you werent paid?
I don’t do my job for the pay. I could do something else and be paid far much, but I chose the one in which I kind of struggle financially but that have meaning. A lot of people do that.
So the answer is: yes. I’d prefer to do my job in a money-less society than in ours!
I’m only working so that i can afford the things that other people make. A moneyless society would just have other types of debt, with fewer things to do in general.
I could probably also take a job that pays more, but that wasn’t the question. Would you do take responsibility for other people without compensation is probably a more apt way of phrasing the question.
If I got to do what I choose to do and didn’t have to worry on being able to afford the essentials or paying to learn the job? Absolutely. There’s been quite a few jobs I’ve wanted to do, but can’t either due to no openings or expensive schooling even with assistance. Shit I’ve often wanted to keep working at my current job past quitting time cause it’s nice and relaxing. Only problem I’ve ever had with it is it’s a morning shift and the place is closed in the afternoon. Start me at 2 PM and I’d work for 10+ hours.
For sure

Better question: would you work if you got paid, but didn’t have to work for it?
OP is talking about communism. Socialism is far better, since you still have to work, but there are safety nets and limits on Oligarchy
