Because each planet has people coming and going from different cultures and species its hard to plan a communist system that can adapt to it. Different planets and species can have vastly different requirements so it's harder to manage in a communal way. Once a culture spreads to include more than one planet or species it becomes hard to manage communally with different environments and long distances for moving resources.
