It failed miserably as could be expected, and soon free-enterprise took over

It failed because of human nature and mindset it produces, namely that to have is better than not to have and to have more is better than to have less.

Isn't heaven going to be a sort of "communism" in that there will be like-mindedness, lack of comeptititon, ritualistic never-ending prayers, no unfulfilled desires, etc?

I don't know, is it possible to have communism without corruption? But since He created our individualities differently :) I would presume that different people will have different things to do in Heaven. In addition, there is the matter of whatever specifically "Heavenly reward" entails. Whatever it is, it won't be a matter for jealousy, but just difference.
