Good point, but a thing about actual communism. Almost nothing was free back then as well. Why? Because let's say, an apartment had a rent price, it wasn't yours, it was state owned and you actually paid for using it (huge sums as well), cars were on a waiting list, with astronomical prices and you had to do the driving permit test by actually owning a car, not before. A car, was the only thing you could *own* in the communism. The factories were insalubre places where there was NO worker's safety, and it worked well until the 1980's.
The good points of communism was the industry and the pride of actually having some great minds there and there that could pull something good, but often uncredited, left in the shadow of other Communist Party members.
I'm not sure wich communism these kids want to have, since the real communism wasn't a freebie parade, more like a torturing scheme by the secret police wich were infiltrated in high schools, on the streets you were living etc just so they can see if you have anything valuable/foreign.
TL;DR, If real communism was applied, these people wouldn't have smartphones, 2000$ fursuits and airplane tickets, they would work their lousy asses in a bean can factory for 0.50$ an hour. Because that's how communism worked, and I have many quotes from people who actually ran some of the factories and "businesess" back then.
