You cannot buy out, substitute, or displace the existing "social accumulation." You can seize it, destroy it, etc. Splitting profits equally? No such thing. Oxymoron. Profits by definition are a function of inequality. And as soon as your isolated communist community comes into contact with the world of finance capital, you're venture begins its morping into good old private capitalism. Plenty of history to demonstrate all of the above and all of the above are compressed in the history of the Russian Revolution. ^^^^^^ CB: Right down to an almost literal Armand Hammer buyout ?
