I think one of the problems with the debate of whether not communism is good is because it has failed everywhere it has been practiced. But everywhere it has been practiced it has been practiced as a dictatorship.
Communism and Capitalism are opposites
Democracy and Totalitarianism are opposites
We have seen Communist Dictatorships, and Capitalist Dictatorships, and Capitalist Democracies. Does this mean a communist democracy is not possible. In theory it should be. If you look the US bailout right now it is the US government Nationalizing a failing industry. So if you had a massive failure in the economic system and the governments solution was Nationlization and they kept having elections you could get close.
As well comunism has worked very well on small scales where your actions directly effect the society.
