Actually, no noe really knows if communism is a good idea or not, since
no one has ever given Marx's ideas a real shot. He stated that 
evolution to a communist system had to be in steps to allow the citizens
to adjust to the concept, but in almost every case of attempted Marxism,
purges and imprisonment were used to try to skip the logical steps. Fear
for your life may cause you to give lip service to a cause that you come
to despise, but if you secretly plot its demise you will not be a true
participant. Communism DOES work effectively in limited settings, ie
religious colonies, and some tribal settings. The Marxist model has
never been faithfully followed, in a state setting.
