My advice is to never "pull a stalin."

Well, when Stalin came to power, he reved up the soon to be economic power house and 20 years later was able to defeat the fascist Nazi's. So to answer your question, all people would either have to be reeducated in the new socialist society or would enter the workforce.

There are two types of ‘unemployed’: the genuinely unemployed and the lumpenproletariat. There is one chief distinction between the two: the lumpenproletariat chooses to be unemployed and a cancer to society, the genuinely unemployed don’t work because they don’t have the opportunity or education to do so. In a socialist society, the state and the community would work to educate and find work for these people. The lumpenproletariat either could (a) get a job or (b) forced to the jobs nobody wants to do (janitors, garbage men).
