Just curious, but does communism by necessity or definition require central planning? Is a distributed power model not possible, aside from the fact that it hasn't been done?

I'm genuinely curious, as I've never studied political systems in any depth.

It doesn't: in fact, I think central planning is generally what breaks communism.

Kibbutzes and communes generally are communist but work without central planning
