The abolition of class - and therefore the abolition of private property rights as well as the state, etc. - and the abolition of bourgeois exchange - and therefore money. This is to be replaced with communal ownership and free, unoppressive relationships (unoppressive insofar as no one is oppressed in the process) in the first and, in the second, we will use distribution. When talking about distribution, there are two main phases: lower-phase Communism (often called Socialism by other Marxists, not to be conflated with the dictatorship of the proletariat, which MLs often do) in which distribution is based on "to each according to [their] contribution" (via labour vouchers) and higher-phase communism in which distribution is based on "to each according to [their] need, from each according to [their] ability". The former phases is required only as a result of remaining, post-capitalist scarcity. After this scarcity is gone - from scientific advances and using a more efficient use-value based production (rather than an exchange-value based production), we can proceed to the higher-phase.
