Besides the fact that communism didn't remove the worries about basic necessities, it also didn't reduce the burden to work - communism is all about full employment, so you don't get the time to be creative. Additionally, there were few incentives for people to be creative (you couldn't benefit from your creative work), and also many restrictions on creativity (art/culture was directed by the state, freedom of speech minimal).
