And you're asking me, who does the dishes after the revolution?
Well, I do my own dishes now, I'll do my own dishes then.
And it's always the ones who don't who ask that fucking question.

What do these people think is gonna happen? People will just let the trash and shit pile up and live in filth rather than do a bit of cleaning? No one's paying you to take your own trash out or clean your own bathroom, but that gets done, doesn't it? Because you'd rather do a bit of cleaning now and then than wade through garbage. Why wouldn't that work on a community scale?

I'll give you the answer: it does work on a community scale. In anarchist and stateless societies today, in pre-capitalist societies throughout history, etc, etc. Turns out, people prefer to keep their environments clean, and even in the worst case scenario where what's proposed in the post above isn't implemented or doesn't work out or whatever, we're not going to devolve into garbage creatures

Not just this but like. If for whatever reason we can't share the burden and still need professional janitors and such, we can make the jobs more than worthwhile. Provide good PPE, provide showers that can wash off the filth from the PPE before it's taken off, provide good showers that workers can use at the close of shift, and build a culture that treats them the way they should be treated: as people fulfilling an essential role for our society to continue to function.
