What I said was it might be possible that there is some application of communism that might work and still provide an acceptable level of human rights. This means that under some obscure set of circumstances there might be a scale that it could work for.
I also said that I would not bet on it, which I thought was a pretty clear way of me saying that if I was in charge and could choose a economic system for my country to use, it certainly would not be communism.
If this was unclear, I apologize.

I agree 100%.
However, to claim anything is impossible is absolutely foolish. Given the right set of circumstances anything could happen. That there may be something out there waiting to be discovered that will totally change the way we look at the world as we know it. To deny this would be very closed minded.
