Well, please tell me how, after more than a century of dozens of attempts in its name, it is (a) to be properly implemented and (b) to work for all.
I believe only in perpetually-evolving hybrid systems, because only those take into account all known, and emerging known, aspects of human nature. IMO Marxism is a fatal perversion of the original Leftism, in which democracy was undermined in support of an (admittedly brilliant) insights of certain aspects of economic activity, but also along with a huge pile of totalitarian claims and demands, as if they were not only positive, but normative, economics as "settled science". It was a call to create intramural armies, not solve societal problems. In my experience, Marxist pretension on these things is just breathtaking.
China is communist only in name (they're completely two-faced about it, copying only the totalitarianism part), and Russia hasn't been communist since 1991.

Well there is China and Russia but they are a bit less communist than before.
Both seem to be doing ok!

Cuba + Vietnam.
Cuba: How is this a successful society?
Vietnam: As with China, is this really communist any more?
Have you been to Cuba?
How does communism, specifically, make Cuba a successful society?
