Is it a moral/ethical imperative that everyone work or contribute to society in some similar way or is requiring labor to survive just a necessity of reality with no moral/ethical implications? Or in another way, should we have a system that requires people to work more than the absolute minimum necessary for survival and does that hold true as the amount of labor necessary for survival approaches 0?

    Communism doesn't deal with a society where the labor cost of survival approaches 0.
