Aren't you describing a dictatorship? In communism, the state owns things, but the state can be the people; i.e. democratic communism. Isn't communism just the absence of private property? (that is, everything is public property)

And of course, collective ownership doesn't require central planning. Things can be distributed.
I am describing actual communism, while you are describing imaginary communism which has never existed
