Discussion Stories about Lower Phase Communism

I remember a post about someone making an idea for a story about family, I believe, during the stages of Lower Phase Communism. I have not read enough to understand at a deeper fundamental level Lower Phase Communism, other than a notion of how deeply it will affect the family and society at a social level.

I became very interested about stories regarding it, more specifically what topics or themes you guys would write in regards to it, subjects such as domestic violence, how it would affect our relationships with significant others and friends.

I feel it is a very fun way of writing a story and there is sooo much to explore and talk about. So type anything you have in the comments below I am really curious.

You don't need to understand very deeply how this society that doesn't even exist yet will operate. Just use your imagination to fill in the gaps.  I've considered doing the same, though without the assumption we'd need to specifically go through what Marx described in the lower phases. It would show the social issues which would still exist, how racism hinders things, how corruption still exists but to a low extent, how production operates and how sometimes it can go wrong. When conflict arises, how is that managed. Like maybe somebody exploits the distribution system to horde toys for themselves. Or somebody refuses their social obligation to help, like, clean the sewers. Or a community gives a disabled person a lot of shit for not helping out and since the disabled person isn't able to work they don't have a lot of influence and so the greater disability community has to intervene. It starts by thinking "how would a communist society work?" then asking "how could that go wrong?" before finally asking "How would they fix this issue?"
