I just asked my husband this question since he was born into a communist country and escaped when he was 23 years old.(He is now 60).
He said,"The idea is great but people are not ready for it."
Meaning there is always someone in power who wants more, people can not really share equally.
Funny thing is I am now living part-time in Hungary and the former communist leaders are still in power,they made sure some of their friends and close relatives got key positions before they left office.All of the countries money was stolen by them, they bought factories and large business for close to nothing.Things really haven't changed much here for the working class.Well, maybe things are a bit worse, no more totally free medical and no job security,no garunteed housing ect.

Common ownership and absence of classes, or loosely Socialism as practiced in countries ruled by communist parties. And the good thing is, it doesn't work, and that has been proved. People are getting in boats and risking their lives to escape Cuba for instance. The bad thing is, One person works hard and gets little and his neighbor does nothing but still gets the same. Health care is horrific. Everywhere you look there are slums. It brings about a lackadaisical attitude. What are the incentives? What would you achieve if you worked hard?

No one knows because communism has never been realized on this earth. It may have been tried, but it's failure was caused by ignoring certain economic principles that Karl Marx stated were necessary prior to the creation of communism; namely, there must be a capitalist foundation and socialist institutions in place prior to communism. None of those countries claiming to be communist have had both and most have had neither!

The good: by now is should be apparent that Communism is a failed ideology.
The bad: every decade or so another person or group of egomaniac tyrants wish to impose this social and economic cloister on some nation.
Enter America's Modern Democratic Party.

good, everyone is equal, everyone gives to central government, everyone recieves a just share.
bad, it will never work, people are greedy, the custodian makes as much as the rocket scientist. The central government keeps too much money for themselves.

It sounds good on paper, but the governments have been totalitarian. It only tends to work in small, groups.
