The problem with people like you is that your "theories" never take into account human nature! Read Animal Farm. It shows what's happened in every Communist government. The Soviet Union, Cuba, Cambodia, China...take your pick. There is ALWAYS a ruling class. There is ALWAYS a group that gets special treatment! There are always those that work and contribute to society and those that don't. At some point those that DO work and contribute to society get tired of supporting those that don't and realize that the people in charge are getting things they aren't even though they did all the work! When that occurs...one of two things happens. Either the productive people stop trying or they escape to a place where they get to enjoy the fruits of their labors. That's reality. You espouse a pipe dream.You can try to figure out an alternative to democratizing the workplace and producing everything to meet human needs, but what would that be? People are just suffering from a bad case of cognitive dissonance, refusing to recognize that the solution has been with us for the last 160 years, it's called socialism and communism (socialism is the process that leads to communism). We need to socialize, democratize and personalize production. That's the answer, and people know it but they just can't get themselves to admit it, due to all of the negative cold war capitalist propaganda about socialism.
