Not on the scale of Star Trek, where advanced technology such as replicators allows them to create food out of waste through atomic recomposition. Modern-day communist societies such as the Soviet Union are plagued by hunger and starvation. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soviet_famine_of_1930%E2%80%931933

USSR and China aren't really communist countries. They are, at best, revisionist. They are command economies with state-capitalism and authoritarian rulers that definitely have different social classes. While USSR ostensibly got rid of personal property, that just entailed the authoritarian owning everything. Both countries lied to the people to get a socialist revolution started and then seized all power for their party (which don't exist in communism).

China is about as communist as the DPRK is democratic.
