Again, I do not consider that there has been any existing communist states in modern history. I do not consider China, Russia, Cambodia, Vietnam, or Cuba to have been communist states.
Having said that, most of the people who fled Cuba were crooks ad gangsters of course

I dont know enough about Star Trek to say for sure - but I think for human society to exist and flourish to this point without destroying itself - then necessarily it would be a communist state.
There is of course one alternative to communism, which is the collapse of civilisation and a world conflict which destroys the structure of society comletely.
