Communism is more than just the abolition the private ownership of capital goods. Goods are distributed via planning. The system that you seem to be advocating looks more like market socialism, in which private ownership of capital goods is abolished, but goods are allocated on a free-market. Workers form democratic co-ops as opposed to communes.
When I was a socialist, I saw communism as a form of usury, which was my problem with capitalism. Since then, I have rejected the labour theory of value and have turned over to the dark side.
Honestly, you have more in common than with Benjamin Tucker and Pierre Proudhon than you do with Marx.
