Not OP, but we already have examples showing where communism lead.
No amount of brainwashing will convince everyone to give up their property and their labor for the common good; you'll always need a totalitarian regime to enforce socialism / communism (for some, if not all).
You can even see it in our modern mixed society, everything is a voluntary transaction - minus paying taxes to the government for the "common good". A few people willing to signal their virtue will say they're happy to pay for taxes. But why not just use voluntary donations to charity? They have the added benefit of being auditable by third parties (unlike the government, which polices itself) and they have arguably less bureaucracy than a government, increasing the amount available to help whoever you're helping.
From my side, I'd love to try a society based on the Machinery of Freedom: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jTYkdEU_B4o https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jTYkdEU_B4o
