Oh hey, so this isn’t specifically communist (and isn’t on my larger reading list), but if you’re interested in examining how to build better relationships I recommend Dean Spade’s Love in a Fucked-Up World: How to Build Relationships, Hook Up, and Raise Hell Together.
Dean Spade is one of the founders of the Silvia Rivera Law Project, and has some great writing on abolition (Normal Life: Administrative Violence, Critical Trans Politics, and the Limits of the Law is a great/terrible read), and this book just came out. It’s about fostering healthy relationships while acknowledging the impact that politics plays on every aspect of your life. So how to find the balance/bring to the forefront your desire to change the world around you, the pain caused by the systems of oppression we experience, and that desire for community and fostering mutual power in your relationships.
