I wonder where are these people. Do you know any? Would you be "happy" to work for less than minimum wage?
> it creates an effect similar to communism
Sure, gommunism is when minimum wage. Most of Europe is in fact gommunist today, while its bourgeoisie gets richer and richer by the year.
I'd wager that the number of people who are truly content doing this work as opposed to a higher-paying job is effectively zero. That is to say, a number of people so low that it is irrelevant.
I'd be very happy to work for less than the minimum wage if that's all my work was worth and the alternative was no job..

The root cause of this wealth disparity is the fiat money printing. The value of the units of currency are halving every decade without people realising, so most people have been getting an annual real wage cut for the last 53 years only offset by consumables becoming less valuable through efficiencies of production. The prices of hard assets like real estate show the true extent of the currency debasement.
so, who decided? why? to benefit whom? i suppose therein lies the root cause.
Workers are getting pay cuts while thinking they are getting pay rises, and they then blame the shops who have to ask for increasing numbers of the the devaluing units of currency in exchange for the same item.
Is this a scenario you feel you are qualified to answer for? Have you, as somebody with meaningful living expenses, ever been in a scenario like this? If not, I'm certain you do not have an accurate picture of what that would be like and what you would consider your options to be.
