BTW I love old school Chassidus and think it is very doable.
Look at Satmer.
To each according to their needs, from each according to their abilities, and the Rebbe decides who needs and gets what and who needs to give, with the individual permitted to keep the excess.
The Rebbitzen of Satmer used to “Tax” for Satmer Mosdos the amount that someone paid for their own simcha, for the more wealthy of the community. You don’t like it? Leave.
If you are a Chossid, it works.
I just happen not to be a Chossid. I am a Gavra. 🙂
