I think Pancake’s answer up there is more accurate.
Everyone, even the loafers, get the necessities to survive (Marx’s talk of from each according to their need and to each according to need isn’t necessarily symmetrical). Everyone should give what they can and everyone should get what they need not because they do they get.
Further, it’s likely given the current state of communism globally that there would remain a controlled and regulated market that would allow for everyone getting their stat-issued food ration (even if they aren’t doing anything) but there would be reward of variety or perhaps quality (think steak instead of ground beef) if you contribute to society and have enough surplus to spend.
