I understand the concept of the "free rider".
The mistake you are making is to imagine people as they are made to behave in a capitalist world in the new world after the revolution.
People will not WANT to free ride or not contribute to a society and an economy they are an equal stakeholder in, they will want to give all they can, and take all they need, to make THEIR society greater.
People may be "free riders" today becase their labour is exploited and alienated, reduced to a mechanical process, and that they are alienated from the value added by their labour.
In a communist world this will not be the case, and TRUE human nature, which is compassionate, social, and creative, will be allowed to flourish.
