This is a common myth surrounding communism. It does not sugegst that you get stuff for 'free'. The basis of the society is that any produce you make belongs to the community as a whole. Thus everyone gets a little piece of what society produces according to their need, as long a they input into the community. So the idea that communism is a 'free ride' is ridiculous and totally misses the point of what communism actually is.
Yes... From each according to his ability, to each according to his need.

I hereby declare that my ability is nothing more than sitting on my butt, and my need is a flat screen plasma TV. What is the motivation for me to try harder if there is no reward?
