I've checked and all of these are available new and are not exorbitantly expensive. I haven't read all of them, some are just from my own personal wish list. These are radfem but not directly trans-focused. Sorry if that was more what you were looking for, if so I can check for more along those lines.

No. If we are speaking in Marxist terms, this is primitive-communism. The idea of "sharing" is prevalent in both primitive-communism and communism proper, but the similarities end there.

The advent of communism requires a sufficiently industrialized society, one with a class system in which the working class has reached a level of labor discipline suitable to industrial labor. Class systems emerge through private property and the division of labor. There are two flavors which these come in: the Asiatic mode of production and feudalism. The inner-workings of both are too complicated and off-topic for this comment, but I suggested researching them.

tl;dr communism requires a proletariat, the proletariat requires industry.

Engels wrote a whole book on this subject called The Origin of the Family
