You contribute labor to produce widgets that belong to social stock from the outset (the widget does not belong to you as private property)
You receive labor voucher for your work which is a claim to a specific portion of consumer goods to satisfy your own needs
Me, who has a labor voucher from different work walks into a distribution center and takes the widget, and the labor time worth of the widget gets subtracted from my voucher. That portion gets consumed permanently and doesn’t go to anyone.
What you described was essentially a scenario where goods were still produced as commodities for exchange (generalized form being capitalism) or where private property still existed. In that case yeah, money remains necessary.
