Communism is a nice idea, the problem is that it always stayed an idea: There has been no communistic states, just those who have said they are. No one of them got past the first stage of the transcension: Which is where one, or a small group of people, maintain all the power in order to hinder the old system from being restored by those who benifitted from it. The primary problem with communism is that it’s incompatible with human greed: Which, despite what we like to think and say, is very real. Communism will remain an idea, a paper theory, untill that greed is elimitated - not just in the majority, but in everyone, and after that stopped from returning.
