Be different from 99% of your fellow citizens and actually read Marx before critiquing him.
Be different than 99% of your fellow citizens and learn how the Soviet Union was merely state run capitalism. Read Tzevetan Todorov's analysis of Stalin.

A communist form of government will only work conceivably for very small tight-knit religious communities or tribal societies in the same way a pure democracy could work for them.. Take the Amish for example. They live life according to a form of "from each according to his ability, to each according to his need" kind of system. The Amish, however, are very religiously dedicated people who simply want to live their own lives without having a political agenda. Certain forms of communism will only work for those people.
But you know when communism won't work? It certainly won't work when you try to have a communist government for a whole country. And you know what else? It certainly won't work for a bunch of spoiled liberal college students who smoke too much pot and think Che Guevera is the greatest hero of all time. To you pill popping college Marxists, get a real job and realize that the form of government you want will never come to fruition.

When the country has lost the capacity to reason and instead relies on "feelings".
When it measures success by intentions rather than results.
When it is full of victims.
When no one will take responsibility for the choices they make.

Communism is based on the Utopian concept of socialism. The reality to Utopia is that as long as human beings are involved, there is no chance of Utopia, and there is no "equal rights for all".
