I remember my first description of communism from a teacher in 5th grade.
“The government can force you to work in any field they decide. If they need dentists, they might just force you go to dentists school for 4 years. If after that, they decide they need plumbers, they will send you to plumber school and you will be a plumber. You don’t get to choose. If you don’t like it, they will send you to Siberia, which is a bad place.”
In theory, they could have done something like that, but outside of wartime conscription, why would you?
Plus, for basic practical reasons, a communist government is still broken into a million organisations, which operate and hire just like anywhere else.

In the future we will spend days pining for Siberia to escape the heat waves.
