Okay, so people will always take more than they should. We see this time and again with quite literally every single power system. What do you propose we do to make sure everyone gets their share?

Democratic centralism.

Why are you asking me to repeat myself? And also, why do you have so little faith in democracy? Bourgeois democracy, sure, but actual democracy of the people, with no bureaucracy?

So everyone decides who gets what and when. What if you’re not really liked in your community? Personally I don’t really have faith in humanity in general

That makes it sound far more direct and personal. No, the community democratically decides how resources are distributed. And rules like "Dave can't have bananas" are too stupid to even consider in this.

What if you’re not really liked in your community

Why should that matter?

Personally I don’t really have faith in humanity in general

That's your own bias, and your own problem to deal with.
