Once said to someone "Capitalism works if it only had a few solid rules and everyone who crosses them receives some consequences" and he responded "Well, that would be communism." Don't know if it's true, but - reconsidering the facts, there's been a lot of time that has passed between Marx and now. Also, the incarnations of his proclaims had been founded a long time ago. It was a different time, a different place, things wouldn't work anymore like they used to (then). Rememnants of that time which are still alive (Cuba) and newly joins (several countries in South America) actually show the way as it would have to look like. (I wouldn't count North Korea as a country with a communistic state system, the better phrase for it was "dictatorship by old Asian tradtition. And I don't mean that as an insult, I mean that as a word for a cultural circle.) Pure Communism as Marx proclaimed perhaps would only work in a small group which believes in the uprightness of the order and which behaves like that without any force. Or it would be something to carry out after war. When survivors need to stay together and rebuild up the essentials of a daily life. If larger groups get involved, you need to give them freedom to move because not all that your system can give satisfies or suits the needs of everyone. Well, as I said, some countries who still try this way of life seem to have gotten this point and they try to realize it as best as it's possible (besides all coup tries from the outside). The only thing that seriously needs to settle in culture is that if you own a factory it's not all your property and you can do whatever you want. Your workers need to have a say in that too - because it affects their lives if you close down or sell it all out. Let's say, if this is a way to make that common, give it a try. If the course stays, it will go down anyway.
