Hey kids! You know what would be great? If everything belonged to everyone!
Oh? No, no, no, we'll just have someone to represent the collective will of the people, and give everything to them, then they can be in charge of managing who gets what, and what they are allowed to do with it.
No, it's not forever, just until the whole world submits to thei system, and then a fee generations later when everyone has abandoned all connections to their identities and all their relationships to others, so they have a completely equal relationship with every other person.
Well yes, we will be getting rid of the family, the person who represents the people will take you from your parents to be raised by them, then you will be assigned your reproductive partner by them, and any children you have will be taken from you, just as you were taken from your parents.
Oh, we will set a mandatory limit on their lifespans and kill them if they exceed it, we have to kill the old generation to keep them from contaminating the minds of the new generations with capitalist ideas, you see, it's all in service of creating a new human nature that is completely driven by the collective interests of the many, rather then by the selfishness of the personal ego.
Yes, and then when we have corrected human nature to the point where people can live entirely by utilitarian rules in a world where everything is owned by everyone collectively, those people in charge will no longer have to represent the collective will, they will relinquish their power, and they can kill themselves for the good of the greater whole.
Yes this is a perfectly ethical system of thought which produces sane and logical expectations, and is in no way just a way for a small and powerful elite (who all happen to belong to a particular race that they consider to inherently be far superior to all other races) to enslave the whole of the world for themselves to rule over without challenge in perpetuity (which this particular group considers to be their fated destiny).
