You've tried?
There's this thing called democracy, where people can come together as a community to discuss issues and work out solutions - such as allocating word loads as need be. That's the same underlying principle my house uses, communication not authority.

I’m genuinely curious, how could communism be applied to millions of people without any central authority to oversee the system? Say, the sewer need to be maintained, and the people assigned to the work by the community decided “nah, I don’t want to clean the sewer” and not show up to work, what would the community do? What if the people assigned to mining coals decided they don’t want to mine coal anymore because it’s a horrible job and no one volunteer to replace them? Will the community force them to work out face punishment?

That is literally an authoritarian system.
What do you think the role of ‘ General Secretary’ was?

Huh, wonder how they went from communism to authoritarianism. Well, surely that was a one time coincidence and not indicative of a systemic failure of communism as an ideology.
