You can pay people for labor in socialism, and by the time of communism productive forces will be incredibly advanced, with polytechnical education for all, resulting in easy ability to transfer workers from one industry to another as needed and desired by the workers themselves.
Corruption can be accounted for via mechanisms like recall elections, and working towards elimination of the profit motive. Socialist countries often feature both mechanisms, and involve approval-based voting and bottom-up policy propositions combined with top-down implementation.
I don’t know what you mean by “solving” supply and demand. You can plan production and distribution in socialism based on economic inputs, Paul Cockshott’s Towards a New Socialism shows an example of how a cybernetically planned economy could work (though he’s a massive transphobe and a poor Marxist in many areas).
Socialism is just the first step towards communism, one that can and is implemented already today.
