We do not yet live in a society where we can get by with no one working.
We do live in a society where we could absolutely house, feed, and clothe every person in the Western world without requiring them to pay for these things, and still be hugely net-positive on productivity.
Fortunately, we now have ample evidence that if you provide for people's needs, unless there is some very pressing reason not to (eg, sick, disabled, caring for children full-time, massively burnt out by our current stressful work environment), people still want to work. So we should absolutely be doing the above. It would benefit the whole society, and only hurt those who will no longer be able to control others by holding the threat of death by starvation and exposure over them.
