    Part of the issue with this take is that communism isn’t a system for organizing government, but rather that of labor and resources. It is not true that communism has failed. Rather it is true that communism under totalitarian regisms has failed. True Communism requires that the people have the power, which in turn would require a true Democracy

            It’s my understanding they began as authoritarian regimes, so they have yet to be implemented. An authoritarian regime isn’t necessarily easy to install but it isn’t impossible, nor is a full democracy or some variant of it.

            One of the key tennents of a well governed body is that leaders (if there are any) should be easy to remove by the governed. An authoritarian regime immediately fails that requirement.
