I live in a socialist society, so basically everything is free. I don’t need money, so what’s to stop me from saying “fuck you” to my family and community, since I don’t have to work? I just want to party, sleep around, do drugs, and drink alcohol 24/7. I don’t want to work or help anyone that’s not me. What happens?

Relevant part translated:

Section 249. Impairment of public order and safety through antisocial behavior.

(1) Anyone who impairs the social coexistence of citizens or public order and safety by shirking regular employment out of aversion to work, although capable of working, shall be punished with a suspended sentence, imprisonment, or a term of imprisonment of up to two years.
