There are a lot of undesirable jobs and while maybe some people would be willing, I doubt our needs could be met when the same individuals could just work an easier job for the same reward. Think about what you're saying here. Why don't the people who do these jobs currently not just work at an easier job? If the answer is because they live in a societal trap that prevents them from exploring better options then clearly there is something worth examining here. We shouldn't support social systems that rely on exploitation to function. Personally, I am not convinced that "progress" is an unmitigated good that should be pursued at maximum speed and efficiency, so I am not convinced that all of these undesirable jobs are truly necessary for society to flourish. For the jobs that are necessary, I think people would do them, even without special compensation, because the costs of not doing them would rapidly become apparent. I don't agree that socializing all means of production is the best antidote to what ails us, but I do think that "all-in" on capitalism has failed as a general policy. I would like to see meaningful limits placed upon any private entity's ability to consolidate cash and market share across vast swathes of the earth's surface. As it is the financial health of local communities are at the whim of a handful of multinational juggernauts who let their pools of capital trickle across the globe in arbitrary rivulets. The result is that the members of most communities have little chance of effectively competing in local markets, the mom and pops get replaced by the walmarts and the starbucks and everyone is stuck working to move the fruits of their labor upstream and out of their community. Alternatively, some sort of "basic income" could potentially alleviate some of the pressures, but I see this solution as more of a temporary band-aid.
