    Not quite. When people say that work becomes more enjoyable and that people wouldn’t be as opposed to working without wages, that doesn’t mean they don’t materially benefit from harder or more dangerous labor. You’re assuming wages are the only form of compensation and that any alternative is free from material benefits.
