Samsara-

Actually, you’re wrong. Communism has not always failed. Native Americans lived under several communist style “governments”, note there is no such thing as a communist government it is more a Communist society. Another problem with saying that Communism failed in China and Ukraine is that it wasn’t communism; it was socialism at best and totalitarianism at worst. In Ukraine the people did not work for the community they worked for the state, same thing in China.
I say communism can actually work, but it has to follow a Marxist path and not a Leninist path. This means that communism has to evolve on its own, the people must want a communist society. Leninism forces first Socialism on the people then Communism, and as we have seen most countries don?t make it to Communism.
