See the errors your blind reptilian brain driven ideology leads you (from the top of the diagram, clockwise).
Errors fixed for you:
1. replace "establish a new communist utopia" with 'introduce a job guarantee'; nothing "utopian" about it, easily done at the local council level.
2. replace "rob or kill the successful" with 'fund the JG' via the government's money creation/issuing power (taking account of the nation's available resources).
3. replace "force the rest to work for free" with "legislate the JG wage is an above poverty wage" .
4. replace "run out of food" with 'ensure farmers have an assured income regardless of market conditions'.
5. replace "starve to death" with 'produce good quality food' (not sugar alcohol wine)
6. replace "say it wasn't real communism" with the simple fact: 'Starvation isn't real communism', and certainly Marx did not envisage it. On the contrary Marx envisioned "common prosperity".
See how easy it is to dispose of your your blind 'freedom values'/ 'prosperity for all is utopian' nonsense?
Communism always led to starvation.
Just Google it - it's already been well covered on Ozpolitic.
Do some homework.

reptilain brain driven ideologues.
1. The "Communist Manifesto" did not see communism first arising in subsistence agricultural economies like Russia and China, but in industrialized European states.
Hence Marxism is not responsible for Stalinist or Maoist "communism", in economies in which a majority of workers were still enagaged in subsistance agriculture - just as George Orwell - a socialist - understood.
Of course Soviet manufacturing increased during WW2 when the nation's existance was at state; and indeed in war, free markets in ALL countries are swept aside.
Whereas today, China - in search of
common prosperity - is seeking the happy medium between government control of the economy, and private enterprise in free markets.
...while the US is displaying its sickening level of inequality and entrenched poverty to the whole world, with half the population living pay-check to paycheck - and only an illness away from bankruptcy.
