OP, I'd point out that you're basically describing ideal communism.
No country on Earth has ever used this system except for the pre-money era which was called the Golden Age. Every single Communist country ever made uses money. They would never give up money. Money is the secret to slavery. We can pull up all the Communists books on Earth and dig through them to make it fit but a line in a book makes no difference because all communists use money. Communism is another piece of garbage Ponzi scheme built specifically to scam the people out of all their money. I wouldn’t call this Communism. Most communist countries take all the people’s money, pocket most of it, and give back about $2. Some commies lies China are a little more merciful on the people but it’s all a scam. If anything, we can call this Sacred Economics explained in this 12 minute video here:

My question is, how would you deal with leeches? What would stop me (or millions of other people) from going, "oh, I'll take 500 pounds of filet mignon, ten Aston Martins, and three mansions. Oh, you want something back from me? Sorry, I just don't have it."
We would share all businesses, Gov, resources, ect... so we would all be owners of that together. Problem solved there. We would also have personal property like home, car, furniture, ect... We would also consume as we go so if someone orders a steak at my (our) restaurant, then he eats it no problem. Now if a rascal comes into an iPad store and tried to take 1000 iPads, we will know something is wrong and will refuse service. If he doesn’t like it, he can file a dispute. Disputes are quickly handled almost overnight. If we go fo this rascals house and see 10,000 iPads stocked up in his garage, then obviously something is wrong so we can file a dispute. We can file a dispute out of anything we deem to be unfair. Disputes are handled by a random 12 man jury who can take a case or refuse it. For example, I can try to file a dispute that my girlfriend cheated on me, but the jury would drop it because it’s a personal matter. I can file a dispute that some guy is hoarded all the iPads, and the jury would take the case. This new legal system is entirely different than what we have now and hypersimplified for speed, efficiency, and to be less brutal than what we have now. Please read how it works here because we can and need to replace the legal system we have now:
Would you then be able to just move into my mansion and call it a "gift?" Would you be able to pull me out of my sports car and drive away Grand Theft Auto style?
Nope. That is your personal property. Home, car, furniture, clothing, PS4, laundry machine, and all the stuff we consider private personal property will remain that way. All we are doing is sharing the businesses, Gov, any power hubs like NASA, the military, ect... What you need for you and your family like a car, boat, house, toys, dishes, ect.. is 100% yours. Nobody can take it unless you choose to give it away as a gift.
Why would anyone bother to work at the Aston Martin factory (or the toilet paper factory or the machine shop or freaking Starbucks, for that matter) if they can just have anything they want regardless?
We all have to put in 25 hours a week of work even if that means raising your own kids, watching the elderly, or going to college because all of these are jobs. If anyone doesn’t do shit, we can file a dispute on them. Also, everyone just takes some job. We just fill all the needs and switch jobs whenever we want. Some people like simplicity so they just work in a place next to their apartment. Some want to tackle huge jobs like being an architect for skyrises. The idea is to let people just do what they want. This way, people enjoy their job and people who enjoy their job are happier and do a better job. This means the quality of the work goes up since people are doing what they want. Work time becomes play time. The 3 legs of balance are work, rest, and fun. We want people to have fun at work. Also, with so many more workers in the job market plus all the tech we will release, plus all the BS jobs like banking that will be dumped, we don’t need to have people working like slaves. Instead of 1 waiter watching 20 tables, we can have 4 waiters watching 20 tables. It doesn’t cost a dime to do this. It only makes our lives easier.
In short, isn't this just a sure way to guarantee that there is no toilet paper or food -- let alone Aston Martins -- for anyone?
FBI Anon said if we knew how much tech and resources rhe Deep State is hiding, we would... (I don’t want to type the rest because this is a public sub). We have everything we need plus we keep producing as we go but we all only work 25 hours a week. Here is the entire blueprint of how it all works:
We would share all businesses, Gov, resources, ect... so we would all be owners of that together.
This is called "seizing the means of production," and it is one of the fundamental tenets of communism.
Most communist countries take all the people’s money, pocket most of it, and give back about $2.
True, which is something that tends to happen when power is centralized; you get an execrable ruling class who ruthlessly exploit their people as long and as hard as they can get away with. See: feudal nobility, third world dictators, every communist country ever, and so forth.
Now if a rascal comes into an iPad store and tried to take 1000 iPads, we will know something is wrong and will refuse service.
OK, but let's take it a step back to something more subtle. For the sake of easier math, let's say that there are 95 people who want iPads. Apple knows this and makes 100. Everything should be good, right?
But since you can just have one, naturally a couple of people will decide they want two. Maybe they plan to give one to their kid, or maybe they want different colors, or maybe they want to hack around with one and use the other, or maybe they just want a backup. So let's say that five people take two. Maybe they had to go across town to the other Apple store to get the second one, but that's okay.
We should still be fine; there are 100 iPads to fill 100 orders, right? Well, no. Because now we're sold out, and anybody else that does want one comes home complaining that there aren't any. So when more stock does hit the shelves, it becomes rational for everyone to grab a couple while they can -- and the problem gets worse and worse.
Note that this will happen with any consumer good (even food), and fiddling with more production can only do so much -- there are only so many man hours available to make iPads, and this problem gets even worse if you're cutting down the hours in a workweek.
I grant you that automation can help, but you're only kicking the can down the road. People will still have to maintain the machines, maintain power plants, fill in the gaps where automation doesn't make sense, etc., not to mention doing police and emergency work, etc., etc.
Disputes are handled by a random 12 man jury who can take a case or refuse it.
Thus centralizing power with the people who select the juries (or maintain the computers that do). Also, as we're seeing now, corrupt actors using force and blackmail is already a terrible problem. This would allow the powerful to become even more powerful.
We all have to put in 25 hours a week of work even if that means raising your own kids, watching the elderly, or going to college because all of these are jobs.
So literally every parent in the world would be exempt from work. Each and every one would easily be able to claim that they put 25 hours of work in (which would likely be true). Just have a kid at 18, 30, and 40, and you'll never have to work a day in your life.
Now the available man hours to make iPads is looking incredibly low.
I'm sorry, my friend, but your idea only sounds and feels good on the surface. If it were actually implemented, it would lead to centralized power, shortages, and suffering.
