Communism. Well, in Communism, everyone gets the same wage. So if the person next to me has only made one pair of shoes and I've made thirteen, how is this fair? Also, if you are making nails they'll tell you to make a certain size. But what if it's to small? You can't build a house with all small nails.
In communism though, since everyone gets the same wage, they people that need to work even though they have lost a limb get paid the same.
In Communist China, everyone shares land. It isn't your land, it's our land. So if you had a farm and I lost some of my crop, I could take some of yours. Even though we get paid the same, I may still need some of your crop for food. Also in China, you are allowed one child. If you have only one child you get tax, (or something like that) deductions and you get benefits. Everyone wants boys for their kids so that they can work on the farms. That is why many Chinese put their daughters up for adoption.
Some nations that are Communist are North Korea and China.
This is all I know.

Communists (as I'm sure you know from your research) are people of which believe everyone should share everything equally despite any form of rankings.
If you look in the Bible, it could be interpreted as being communist. It states that people should sell everything they have and share it with everyone in need. If you look at communists in this way, then it's a good thing that would help take care of the less fortunate.
However, there are those that abuse the system. They want to do nothing and still be equal with everyone else. There are also those on the opposite side and want to keep everything for themselves no matter what.
Communism in general is not healthy nor effective way of running a nation. An off-spin of it, where we help those who truly needs it, is a VERY good thing! However, then the million dollar question is who decides who truly needs it and who doesn't?!

OK..I live in a post-communist country,and never mind that I know also the "democracy",I remember well also the epoch of Communism or how was used to be called Socialism..I've passed through the perestroika(led by Gorbachov),the fall of the Berlin wall..I can write you down pages with information,datas etc. At any rate,that was an inevitable change..and the price paid and still we are paying cannot be described to no one who hasn't passed through all..As to your research I'll be glad to help you ,if you be more specific and would ask me exactly what interests you,because the topic can't be exhausted within an answer..

The underlying theory behind the commune is that the good of the individual can, in all cases, be best promoted by promoting the good of the group. What's good for everybody is, well, good for everybody.
Problem is that humans aren't particularly disciplined in wanting what's good for everybody (even on the rare occasions when they can figure out what's good for everybody). And this is the problem of communism: people who are willing to yield their personal desires and ambitions to the good of the group are probably going to get trounced by selfish pigs who won't yield their personal desires and ambitions (no matter how wildly misguided) for anything. That's how the USSR ended up with Stalin after Lenin died and thus found itself practicing a form of facism referred to as "Stalinism" instead of anything remotely resembling Marxist communism.
But it's not just the USSR. China's Maoist movement actively hurt (if not killed-by-"triage") a lot of people without producing much in the way of good for the whole. Even communist enclaves in the United States -- usually started by utopian quasi-christian sects -- tend to be unsustainable after the vision of the founder fades away. Fidel Castro, el presidente of Cuba, hasn't named a successor, either because he's a power-grubbing bastard or because he's a true believer who hasn't found a worthy successor -- either way, the future of Cuba's communism becomes more endangered with Castro's every aging day.
Communism, in its genuine form, is the goal of the "can't we all just get along?" utopian folks. Me, I'm more of the cynical line of Sartre's though that "Hell is other people." It works out slightly better for capitalism, but mostly just helps me keep my evening commute in perspective.

Communism is a political theme in which concepts of individuals private property and religion are not accepted. To achieve such unbiased position of state certain degree of will and freedom of individual is accepted to be compromised.
