" Isn't that the system Marx created? "

There is Marx who wished to create an egalitarian society so that all would be provided for. The only problem is that an elite group of rulers are required to assign who receives what benefits.

There is "Utopia" by Sir Thomas More, but that requires a benevolant King to make the same decisions as above.

There is the ideal society envisoned by Plato, but it requires supreme authority be vested in a few of the intellectually superior citizens to decide how to dispense the profits of a wealthy society.

Marx just ripped off Plato he dressed it up in easier to understand propaganda and tried to make it sound more appealing.
