Your optimism is refreshing. But as many have pointed out, your predictions are naive and fly in the face of everything we know about human nature. In all previous attempts at "communism," these people have been killed or jailed. People don't WANT to be "educated and socialized" (all buzzwords for indoctrination, brainwashing, and koolaid drinking).
Many people will find your Utopian vision to be more of a nightmare, and will be willing to fight tooth and nail to prevent leaders of you ilk from ever obtaining power. How will you overcome us?. . *ahem*. . .I mean "them"?

1, As stated already in other threads and here, but I will repeat, there has never been an actually existing communist state.
2, There will be counter revolutionaries and reactionary forces that will resist the revoluton. These people will be overcome, by the working class of every state, by whatever means necessary.
If possible, we all want the revolution to be peaceful, and total, for the reactionary forces to be swept aside by the force of revolution itself... but if these forces use violence against the working class, and if they use violence and terror to try and deny the democratic will of the huge majority of people and the best interests of all people... then they must be swept aside still.
The communist says to the reactionary forces, "we do not want violence, we do not want to fight... communism is the opposite of war, communism is peace... but we will defend our revolution, and if you insist on violent conflict, know that you will be beatenm you will be swept aside, your forces will be destroyed, because the revolution is inevitable, and the forces of revolution will surge on and on and on and never cease until its goals are realised"
