Difficult question.
Are we talking about real communism (like kibbutz communishm) the Soviet Union communism (aka: MUST KRUSH KAPITALIZM)

I hate the stalinistic brand which is basically a dictatorship in every way. Small scale communism has been achieved succesfully in the kibbutzim (but only small scale) and that did a lot of good and is very productive so I support that kind of communism. And then there is the salon-communism.

The modernday yuppies who have all the wealth, talking about how they should share the wealth. The ones who would be first to complain if they would have to move to a prefab home and share it with "smelly poor people" so the communist government can use they 4-story mansion as a regional HQ.
I hate those a lot, they're the yuppies that waste their time demonstrating for peace and an end to world hunger while they themselves eagerly use daddy's VISA to buy lavish gifts for themselves... smelly bastards

In conclusion its difficult to vote since there are quite a few forms of communism.

People mind is not yet on that level needed for communism to be implemented.

All examples from history where horrible, so I hate that system, but I believe idea is fine.

The idea is flawed and the execution so far is genocidal.

Communism commes from the idea that all people should be the same rather then everyone being equal.

He was asking about communism at level of country, not of group of people who decided to live together.

No he didn't.
In fact he didn't even ask about groups. He asked about the people following the ideology (or one of the ideologies anyway): communists.

Communes like the Kibbutz is not a fair example of communism as these are people who have chosen to live like they do. People who do not want to live there (and abide the rules that govern it) do not have to.

Communism is government type, not the way you choose to live. One of the things that communists are doing is fight for communism government type. Have people in Kibbutz done the same?

Was ex-yu communist country?
