Communism IRL: all are equal in death. This is why full AAA communism ends up killing everyone.
This is close to the correct collectivist outcome: execution of 90-95% of the population. If the purpose of your soyciety is to work as hard as possible for the collective, what is truly the best way to contribute? In a truly non-individualist society, the most valuable thing nearly everyone can contribute is to cease existing.
Keep that in mind next time anyone argues for collectivism. "Cool. You're volunteering to be executed first, right? Show us how it's done! Be a real hero, an hero!"
Gotta lead from the front, in this case.
Deadweights should instead be dead simpliciter, and the dead weight is a supermajority. The only reason to retain them is cannon fodder. Give them a gun and send them to be blown up by a FPV drone. Keep your warriors alive at their expense. Should cost the enemy more than you, enough to offset the slave's food and board in the short time before they're killed, even less the lost equipment. Can't exactly reuse the uniform...
Or, if not, execution 100%. "You have two weeks to get yourself killed. Non-suicide is a firing squad offence."
P.S. Who cares about the morale of cannon fodder? They're not supposed to win, they're supposed to die instead of someone who can contribute in ways other than by ceasing to take up space or air.

Wouldnt the outcome be the same without collectivism? I mean shouldn't being a deadweight be a constant? But that would make 90+% have to be reliant on some kind of subsidy or charity from others!
This is plausible so far as inability to defend oneself combined with General unpleasantness, so I guess that is what you meant? 90+% being deadweight in economic terms looks less plausible , although employers do seem to have poor judgment of employees, its still hard to believe they would hire that many useless folks.
But do employers have poor judgment? I have very little work experience (an internship) and derived the idea from Studies saying that IQ increases a countrys economic performance by more than it increases individual income. Such as about twice as much. But do they really have poor judgment, competition should prevent that!
Unless its just that good judgment is not rewarded in management, because government meddling, too many steps from owner to line manager for incentives to go through etc.
Bosses hire to make themselves look good, not to get work done. Functioning as intended.
Also, consider the candidate pool. When the best candidate is underwater, but hiring no-one isn't an option...
