Challenge for you - because communism ever worked...
Can someone give a example of a communist government that worked efficiently, for the good of people and not breaking any commie rules to a major degree? And I mean on a national level, not some minor communities.
I don't think there is such an example because communism never existed - all we ever had was State Socialism. I can give you an example which is not quite communism, but it's not State Socialism either. There were, during the Spanish Civil War, certain anarcho-syndicalist communities quite large in size (though not national or governmentally controlled of course because anarchists don't have states!). These communes seemed to work while they lasted (a rather short time though, so we can't be sure about the long run). They were collectivists political bodies.
This was kind-of the point, to show that there was not any proper communist state, that it is pretty much impossible to get one and that people should man up and squeeze their balls (like our friend Jakub would say) and think of REALISTIC solutions.
