I would make the argument that even under perfectly executed communism space travel is unlikely to end up being the focus
It would be assuming we do reach post scarcity for all essential goods. There's more than enough bored people right now that would throw away the rest of their lifespan for a few months in space to fill a intra galactic space exploration organization; give those bored people all the free education they can handle and you have a successful star fleet.
I always felt like I was born too early for Starfleet.
I seriously would offer my life to this end; exploring space like Archer might have done.
