I personally believe that old school Karl Marx communism can work.
It's just never been tested.
Two rules from communist manifesto:
Open borders
fair elections
If you look at any case in the pat 1 of those 2 and usually both were broken
Soviet Union
Cuba
N. Korea
Vietnam
Other cases like Laos is just because it's a naturally poor nation. They always were and until there education picked up significantly they always will be. China whitch is 50/50 is the number one economy in the world. There economy is communist style. Also there are Kibutez in Isreal where on small scale communism works suberb.
If Communism is properly practiced there's always
equality
better education
100% employment
everyone has health care.
Now I know that everyone says that people don't have motivation. That's why an open border is vital. That's the main reason countries in the past failed. In this system everyone has to be willing.
That's why I conclude I don't think full blown communism can work on a large scale, but in a population of less than let's say 10 million (just pulling a number out of my ass completely honestly) then ya I think it could.
Also I never lived in a communist nation but my parents lived in The Soviet Union. Life was bad ther for them but really that's because of curruption on every scale. Buy My great grandfather (over 100 years old and living) has lived in the US for the past nine years. He still think he's in the soviet union. So how different can it be?
