Many anti-communists are under the impression that communism is utopian and divorced from reality. I.e. on that dumbass sub enoughcommiespam, they say that having robots do janitorial work is idealistic and that there needs to be a division of labor for society to function. How do yall respond to that?

Well to this particular argument i would say that contemplating something that will probably not happen and surely not in the forseeable future they are 100 times more idealist, not to mention is derailing tactic from real issues.

Why labour division even came into the discussion? It's not something you are for or against it, it is something that historically happened and won't disappear until we either get rid of entire civilization or get rid of entire labour, therefore it won't and shouldn't disappear. I think it was Proudhon that wanted to get rid of the labour division in socialism and got absolutely demolished by Marx in "The Poverty of Philosophy".
