Good or bad, people are driven to compete, to create, and to excel beyond their counter parts. This is why communism in any form can never work. We don't all want to drive the same car and live in the same house and be regulated for a lifetime. Besides, who gets the beachfront property if we're all "equals?"
Communism is not compatible with being human.
Material goods that you mentioned aren't a priority to people living under communism. Corporations spend billions of dollars to convince people to buy products. Humans are more than just consumers and workers.
