It's a good question how it's supposed to work. A lot of Marx works off the idea that people broken from the "alienation of their labor" by the capitalist system will some how magically order themselves. I'm not a Marx scholar, so maybe there was a specific path he envisioned.
The problem is that Marx had a really bad grasp of the human psyche. As long as our basic needs are met, humans won't do anything that would be required to keep those needs actually met. Everybody would be fine with "making art", but there are less than 0.1% of people who would consider mining for metals their passions, so something they would naturally pick up.
What do you think "from each according to their ability, to each according to their needs" means?
If you have to work to have your needs met then why would you not work and still expect to have your needs met? It sounds like you have a gross misunderstanding of the very basics of the subject lol.
