It isn't so simple, jimmy. What you're basically saying is that homeless and poor people should reject "free stuff" like food and shelter and choose to die because they don't have money to pay for it, right?
Communism/Socialism is not about "free stuff" for everybody. It is about ensuring the existential minimum for everybody. It is about ensuring the physical survival of the individual and preserving his/her human dignity. If you want something more than that - better home, car, healthcare, whatever - you have to work hard and earn money to pay for it. And note, work hard without being exploited by a capitalist system.
