Nah, this is fascist thinking.

For Ur-Fascism there is no struggle for life but, rather, life is lived for struggle.

The communist project is ultimately about creating a world where, to a large extent, people do not have to struggle. Reducing necessary labor through mechanization and eliminating the theft of surplus value, achieving global peace by overthrowing the bourgeoise who profit from wars, guaranteeing everybody the necessities of existence. The problem with the ultra-rich isn't that they've made struggle unnecessary for themselves, it's that they've done it at the expense of everyone else.

What is labor itself, life's prime want, but a series of minor struggles?

Good point. I misunderstood what you meant by struggle.
