One partial answer to this could be automation. Full luxury gay space communism could develop some kind of toilet-roomba, and then the job would be baby-sitting the robot rather than scrubbing the bowl yourself. It might be a pretty chill job if that's all it was, you could just watch cat videos on nationalized Youtube while the robot does its thing, but perhaps efficiency would demand that you'd need to do other janitorial work too.

This is mostly my response, but even this path has bizarre problems.

I was at two different stores last month where an employee was paid to follow an automated floor cleaner. These cleaners had seats, but they were ordered not to sit in them. They just walked beside it the entire time.

We're being denied the alleviation of effort that technology brings because capitalism is a religion that demands the working class must suffer.
