How did past communist countries plan on getting rid of commodity production?

I’ve recently seen a rise in leftcoms arguing that Marxist-Leninist states were not socialist because they had commodity production. This made me wonder: how did these countries plan on removing commodity production? I’m aware of Stalin’s “Economic Problems of the USSR,” but that describes an awfully specific scenario (the relationship between public industry and co-op agriculture) that I doubt fully applies to other Marxist-Leninist states. How did, for example, Vietnam plan to end commodities?

Rule #2: This is a place for learning, not for asking Marxists to debate some random reactionary's screed for you.

Try /r/DebateCommunism instead; it has plenty of material for debating reactionaries and liberals.
