Let’s say that the many, many people who are needed to do (relatively) unskilled labor such as restaurants, factory, retail, etc. are not needed to do those jobs anymore due to them being fully automated.

It’s relatively easier to automate those sorts of jobs, but what about the ones that require much more skill: doctors, lawyers, plumbers, electricians. These would take more time to automate compared to the more basic jobs. So when these basic jobs are all lost due to automation, but the skilled ones are remaining, what would a communist/socialist society do to solve this?

Would they force some people to learn how to do these needed jobs in case of a shortage? Would they allow the unemployed masses to survive without labor? What do you think?

    New IT advancement did create new jobs with low-skill demand, but those jobs were outsourced to former European colonies with puppet corrupted authoritarian governments that aligns with NATO so the Capitalist oligarch can profit from slavery and monopolies. In an example, radiologists in healthcare had not suffer job displacement from the introduction of algorithms that can scan and interpret radio images; instead, their job just become more focused on communication with clients and selection of algorithms for analysis of radio images.
