>and then you are given lots of free time to do anything you like.


(It's ridiculous how many people today idealize the USSR when we have living people who can tell you how absolutely shitty it actually was.)

Anything you like that isn't banned, you mean. If you think a Soviet-model system is going to just let people be creative in any way, and distribute it however they like, I suggest you think again. Something like GuroChan would probably be seen as a corrupter of morals and be wiped out of existence. Communism is NOT going to usher in any golden age of art where you can just reach out and have whatever you like for free. If anything, you will have less art, and it will be more expensive because you will have to bargain and trade and sneak it in through black markets. (Capitalism: still winning even when it has to go underground.)

The problem with your theory is that so far, no place that has "aimed for communism" has actually gotten there, and in the trying to get there, what they've wound up with is deprivation and shortage for lots of people, except for a small ruling elite. If I'm using all my free time standing around in bread lines I don't see how that would be an improvement.
