Technically it isn't communism no, not in the basic Marxist sense.
Communism can have extremely unequal outcomes , if your work is worth more you can earn a lot more, and there is no mandate for welfare actually in Marxism.
It's something more than communism which should be called redistributionism which can happen under socialism/communism, or under capitalism (most countries do that to some degree), it's bad, it significantly decreases aggregate production, incomes, wealth, it's destructive, deeply immoral, and distopian and disgenic, but it isn't necessarily communist.
It's leftist for sure.
Must be made clear at this point that evil Marxists added several monstrosities to the already deeply evil basic model written by Marx creating something that is a lot worse than the already horrific Marxist model.
