Have you thought about a command economy? Centrally run by a Highmaster? Who will no doubt create the prestigious title "Fuel Survey Underlord of the Wilderness Planet at the end of the Noctolium Solar Chain".

a relevant passage from This Soviet World by Anna Louise Strong
Should I make one of these that has all the Auth left countries telling the free thinker that "this is the only way to communism"?
Except countries that have existing socialism aren't doing that. In fact, China very openly says that their system is a product of their history, culture, and material conditions. Unlike western libs, they're not trying to franchise and remodel other countries into their own image. Neither does Cuba or Vietnam last I checked.
This is also why the CPC names their system Socialism with Chinese Characteristics. They want a multi-polar world, where hundreds of different socialisms can bloom on their own without fear of intervention, and especially being attacked by the US:
"Socialism with [insert any country here] characteristics"
Can you imagine a Cuba without the embargo?
Would be pretty wonderful, they could be as far along as the PRC, but in the western hemisphere. The US could never tolerate the threat of a good example so close to its borders though of course.
They already have to deal with Cuban healthcare and doctors.
Communism has the same problem as every other system
People

I'm 13 and this is deep
Communism has a 100% success rate.
What's the soviet union then?
The problem with the Soviet Union was the lies and propaganda they tried to push was used against them when they got caught.
You can't have a government for the commoners when you silence them to the point that the commoners no longer believe the government is for them.
