I cant quote any theory in that regard but I can tell you my perspective on this. As a carpenter, you build a chair and sell it. In capitalism you build many chairs because you make them break soon and burn them to keep the factory running.

Thats why you need to alienate people from their product as this is what comes from mass producing.

In communism (and arguably in more advanced socialism) the reason you build something is for it to last, you treat a chair with respect and the longer a chair has survived the challenge of time, the more awesome it becomes.

But there is also the dialectic of progress. It is of no consequence that something becomes outdated and needs to evolve or vanish. The communist future i envision does not conserve for conservations sake but educates children on the limited human capacity for conservation and the need for constant change and progression. There is no benefit in keeping this house the way it was just to ne cold in the winter and hot in the summer while the other house that through ingenuity keeps a perfect climate through ancient techniques needs to be preserved for the future instead of dogmatic need for change and "newness".

I think we will produce a tiny amount by hand in a communist society. Most boring stuff will be done by machines, only the really medirative and creative things will be done by hand and therefore not be alienated from their creator.
