You’re not really giving any actual examples of automation shortening the work week in socialist countries

I pointed you directly to the 8-day workweek, which was the consequence of socialist reforms following the industrial revolution.

You can find the same reforms implemented in socialist states ranging from Lenin’s Russia to Sankara’s Burkino Faso. It wasn’t just in England that we got statutory limits on the labor day and rules for overtime pay.

And again it’s not an achievement of socialist countries specifically. It happened (and originated) in the capitalist countries too.

  It is an achievement of socialism, specifically.
  
  And when the socialists get control of the whole country, it becomes an achievement of a socialist country

    But have socialist countries have such work day shortenings that would be specific to socialist countries?
