If you want the commune to function as a commune, from each according to their abilities, to each according to their needs, yes it is. People change and their life circumstances change. They have children and they are much more motivated to provide for theirs than to provide for those of their commune mates. Some people are much more productive than others and with the best will in the world, not always available, they get tired of putting in more than an equal share and getting out an equal one. You don’t get celibate quasi-monastic communities outside religious ones and those are the only examples I’m aware of that perpetuate themselves across generations in a strict communal fashion. Even with multigenerational religious communities they don’t generally share a large portion of property communally. The Hutterites, Amish and similar groups function as communities with strong norms, a great deal of community self help and group decision making but most property is held at the household level. And they generally fission somewhere between 50 and 100 families when coordination problems and group communication gets unwieldy.
If the commune does ninetieth percentile well they’ll keep drama and internal feuding to a minimum, with no one “stealing” anyone else’s spouse and it’ll eventually turn into a co-op with most people holding a lot of individual property.
