There is no doubt that in a classless society, the workers will be doing far less work--particularly dangerous and tedious work--than the workers of today's system. Automation is actually a bad thing for workers under capitalism, because under this system workers need a paycheck to afford pretty much everything (including most necessities), and automation displaces jobs, thereby leaving the workers who are no longer needed S.O.L. But in a moneyless system where everyone was guaranteed meaningful work, the more automation, and the less toil humans had to engage in, the better it would be for all; labor-displacing technology under capitalism would become labor-saving technology under a classless and moneyless system.
Hence, our goals actually do coincide. What I was discussing is how youth liberation would work if it occurred within the context of a capitalist system, since it's very possible that youth liberation will occur before we switch to a classless and moneyless society, possibly long before.
