I highly doubt you will be able to get away with doing a lot less than you already are, after all its 'workers of the world unite' not 'half of you doss off maybe work at asda for 2 hours a day when those in the (current) high end jobs work their arses off all day every day for the same pay as you' if your not working under communism, you dont eat at all.

I think the majority of the people would have less work under communism or socialism and in long term there would be less poverty in the world, especially in the poorer countries and recourses of the planet would last longer.
Reasons:
- in a capitalistic system the economy and the profit of companies has the highest priority
- people have to consume much more than they acctually need, so that the economy grows
- in a capitalism war is much more important, so that the consumption can be kept on a higher level
- advertisment would be (almost) unnecesary under communism
- in long term we destroy the future of the planet for our younger and for coming generations with our current materialistic life
- richer countries could have much more own agriculture so that they dont have to exploit the people of poorer countries
- education is under capitalism less important than the economy
If someone is political interested he could also see that there are other serious issues with the capitalism and the current bank system:
- high devaluation of currencies, to solve dept problems and also to increase the consumption of the people (btw. the US government covers only one third of their spendings with taxes currently, last year it was almost 50%; most other richer countries have also high dept problems currently; Greece, Island, Japan, US, Italy, Portugal, Spain, UK and other countries are at risk to become bankrupt)
- companies and esspecially the bigger concerns have much more impact on the politics than the people
