Famously, in the Soviet Union. Unemployment was abolished and by the 1970s 1 in 10 positions were open for hiring, the average time in unemployment was two weeks. There was no legal mechanism other than disability benefits, motherhood benefits or retirement pensions that allowed for people to earn an income, the only way was work. In modern capitalist Russia, the top 1% gets 20% of total income, in Soviet Union it was 4%, so it was extremely less unequal. If everyone worked (except for people with serious disabilities, retired people, and possibly some housewives), and the income was well-distributed, then it’s kinda exactly what the post was saying.
