There are only so many unskilled jobs available. What would your wonderful communism do with this? Create worthless jobs and wasted resources of all society on it?
The actual answer is UBI and job training programs. It lets people survive and gives them the opportunity to learn new skills without worrying about starving to death in this capitalist hellscape.
UBI? Reduced working hours? Better social services? Public works? There’s no such thing as not enough work; only not enough work that benefits the ruling class.

Train people for free and invest heavily in capital growth as it always has? Studying in the USSR in University was completely free, and students often got accommodation and stipends on top of that. By the 1970s, 1 in 10 positions in the economy were vacant, which was a problem in and out of itself, but “not having enough things to do” was NEVER an issue.
