It cannot be stated often enough that the rulers and the mob both want communism, but for very different reasons: the mob wants "free stuff" and the rulers want central control over all resources, which, in essence, means complete control over society. In may ways communism is a conspiracy of the rulers and the mob at the cost of the productive class, and it ends when the productive class has bled out and is dying.

Communism is a party that starts with the mob and the rulers getting drunk together, slaughtering and eating the productive class - and it ends with the terrible hangover of starvation.
how can we align the interests of the productive class with the interests of the rulers?
I don't think they will, need or should align their interests.
