Most crime under capitalism either shouldn't be a crime in the first place or is done out of desperation due to capitalism. The few anti-social individuals shouldn't be thrown in a penal system, since punitive measures are not rehabilitive. They should be educated, not punished.

Police were invented to capture slaves, they're necessary to the state. There are other ways of protecting community without utilizing a police force. The point of socialism is to abolish the state and capitalism.

So you’ll have to assemble a new “force” of people who work to protect communities and to collect the anti-social individuals and take them to a place to separate and educate them... so the same amount of work will have to be done

The work doesn’t go away when you call it by a different name or make it less exploitative and more useful

To be fair, a lot of current work is useless or even counterproductive to society, so yes you could reduce work hours by redirecting those people into useful jobs.

But if you couple that with treating all workers fairly and not exploiting foreign labor, the need for labor would go way up... the only way for it to be all leisure is to keep the empire

Why would the need for labour go way up? Just get rid of all the useless things. No more stupid toys made to break, no more junk food, no more empty houses, etc. There's no way labour would need to increase if it was evenly distributed and production was based on need.

It doesn’t have to go up. You could 1) keep exploiting third-world countries and 2) let everyone with a useless job never work again instead of doing something more useful for society

That doesn't make sense. You're not taking into account automation or how a shift in production would necessarily change how work is done. There's no need to exploit third-world countries or prevent people from working.

If you stop exploiting third world countries, then you have to either do the labor yourself or pay them much much more (which requires more labor on your part). If automation could do it cheaper it would already be automated

You're thinking like a capitalist.
