First of all: that's not true. As have/do I, and it's not a monthly requirement or anything, but it's an important maintenance item for the longevity of the tank. Not 100% of everything that goes down there is metabolizable. Second of all: what happens when they do?

I'm more of the homesteader mindset, I think that people living out in the country within a socialist society should have the knowledge to do it themselves, and can get the tools from a library (I'm assuming a library economy here). However, socialism is not "everyone is paid the same". Assuming that there is a state, sanitation workers could be well compensated for their valuable labor.

Edit: Continuing the side note on septic tanks, my dad's house growing up is over 100 years old and has been in the family since my grandpa bought it before the Korean war. My grandparents put in a modern septic tank some time in the 70s/80s. While I've been alive, the septic tank has needed to be pumped maybe once a decade. It does need to happen, but not very often. The real trick is making sure kids don't flush their legos
