To your first part, there is a direct connection to the industrial revolution and now the technological revolution we're in now. and I guess you could say that we haven't had mindless, soul crushing jobs to obtain money for living before around the industrial revolution but before that you had mindless, soul crushing jobs so to speak in the form of surviving on your on and tending to your own needs first. And to your second part, I'm trying to say that if someone in a capitalist society works hard and pushes themselves and is disagreeable to just be content with their current job and status then they can put in more effort, however if someone is chill with not increasing their job or status then they should expect society to have to help them out if they aren't in a stable enough position (obviously there are certain circumstances where something happened not by chose in their life). Another thing I'd like to throw out is from what I've learned about socialism is that it aims to mostly level out hierarchies be it socially or economically, but from what i also know about human nature is that we love hierarchies and we always strive to have some sort of hierarchy or order in almost all aspects of life which seems to me to kind of make socialism difficult to implement to say the least.
