That's the tricky part. Without a permanent dictatorship of the proletariat, you have the masses determine value. "The state will wither." is hand-wavy in the extreme. If the people determine value, that results in Glen Beck being worth hundreds of millions in value while school teachers get minimal just like today.
"A person is smart. People are dumb, panicky, dangerous animals and you know it."
Yeah, totalitarianism is idiotic whether it's communist in nature or not. A healthy representative democracy with well protected labor unions, employee/government owned services and allowment of free pursuit makes much more sense and is not incompatible with communism.
Though note, I'm not really a communist in that particular sense, I tend to be in favor of a mixed economy with strong union protections and with essential and beneficial services being operated for the public good.
