I think I have an idea for an improved communist society, so point out any flaws you would see in it.
Every baby born is assigned a job by the state, and they're taken to specialized schools for their entire childhood devoted to training them for their lifelong career in adult life, be it farming or something medical. Every person in this society is employed and everyone is paid equally, no matter the profession. One of the reasons communism failed was because if everyone could keep their job and still get paid whether they worked hard or not, this made everyone not work harder than they must causing the economy to slow down. In my society, the government would assign a specific growth rate it wants to achieve in each sector of the economy, maybe to make the steel sector of the economy grow by 15% by the end of the year each worker must mine 90 tons of steel by the end of the year, if you miss this goal your pay gets deducted by the percentage of how much you missed your quota. Also if you accidentally damage state equipment somehow the cost of repairing it is deducted from your pay. This causes workers to not be lazy and grants more control over the economy, a bit similar to the 5 year plan maybe. If any foreigner moved into the society, since they weren't educated for a job they'd immediately be sent to work the most menial job that requires no skill or training, they'd still get paid though. Their kids are a different story though. There would be innovation too since people may be assigned the profession of a scientist, one of the jobs that will become more common as machines take over manual labor jobs. Scientists would each work together and have to share research data since they're all employed by the state.
So would this idea work?
