What happens if someone refuses to work in a socialist economy?

I don’t know if you’re looking for something historical, but in the GDR you’d be thrown in prison. Refusing to work was considered asocial behavior.

Relevant part translated:

Section 249. Impairment of public order and safety through antisocial behavior.

(1) Anyone who impairs the social coexistence of citizens or public order and safety by shirking regular employment out of aversion to work, although capable of working, shall be punished with a suspended sentence, imprisonment, or a term of imprisonment of up to two years.
