Wouldn't that apply to both systems somehow? Just that in socialism you'd distribute it earlier and more equally.
True socialism would probably be sharing it with those who can't work hard, not shoveling it to those who refuse (which would be the current "owning" class).
Probably more like everyone who can would work 5 hrs a week for everyone's needs to be met then add a 6th hour for the factor of safety. Then there's plenty of people who would also work a bit extra because they find purpose in the cause, or community at the work place...
If someone doesn't "want" to work they probably need the time off anyways. But they're not getting any extra benefit for doing nothing like the wealthy are now
What happens to those who refuse to work then? Let them starve to death?
Furthermore, it's IMHO hard to draw a line between being 'unable' and 'unwilling' to work. Some people have more energy, a higher level of motivation or have developed better skills than others. It's an ethical question that can't be answered definitely, but I wouldn't necessarily say that it's a person's individual fault to be 'lazy'. It's rather the result of their genetics, socialization etc.
Ignoring that there's no one "true Socialism," it largely will depend on the stage in Socialism and Communism. Social safety nets are a necessity, but their extent is going to be determined on the level of productivity.
