Communism as an economic system isn’t some genie you have to trick into giving you stuff, or else you’ll be swindled by malicious compliance simply based on the phrase “according to need.” It’s a mode of production characterized by collectivized production and distribution according to a common plan, not a game of semantics.
But people game it nonetheless, one way or another.
As I said, it’s all about the execution. If enough people decide to stop being vigilant, the people that come to replace them will be those, actively sabotaging the system. And after that, vigilance won’t be enough.
