The original state of things as in the scenario is much closer to what you want rather than that you would be working with now. That is why I was pushing more for critical thinking and expression of thoughts rather than quoting other people's ideology without bridging it between modern and classical environments.
Also on Engels points:
1. Sounds like this would be pricing people out of the homes they worked for
2. Confiscation of the private property sounds like a large big brother concept that only empowers the politically motivated
3. Again those who are politically motivated can cast anyone as a dissenter, just look at the 2nd red scare and the spread of McCarthyism
4. This sounds a lot like the concept of minimum wage
I am just going to skip the additional points made, as from my perspective they are either wishful thinking or are too vague and not well defined (exception of 10 and 11 that I agree with). Like the point I keep coming back to what is equal?
