Who else will abolish work? The capitalists? No, it’s the working class who is to abolish work because the working class is the only class with a vested interest in abolishing work.

When talking about indigenous cultures your European class system doesn't apply. It typically completely excludes indigenous people, especially hunter gatherers.

The only people who have abolished work are indigenous hunter gatherers who have no use for it and constantly have to reject it every generation as an endless stream of colonizers try to force it on them.

They escape the schools, factories and farms they're forced into and go back to the land. Workers have nowhere to escape because work and materialism is all they know.

Workers don't abolish work, they climb the work hierarchy and then exploit everyone below them.

Creating work doesn't abolish work.

Creating class doesn't abolish class.

Creating capitalism doesn't abolish capitalism.

Creating states doesn't abolish states.

Creating authority doesn't abolish authority.
