With respect Terry, the question you are answering wasn't asked and while I dispute your analysis this thread isn't the place for that discussion.The problem with Communism
is the difference between theory and practise.
When you add human nature into the mix,
You still end up withe a rich elite.
and down trodden poor.
And very little in the middle.
And you still get a monopoly.

Does being a democratic socialist count?
Communism as propounded by Karl Marx will never work anywhere because it assumes human beings can be turned into automatons.Communism, in various forms, seems to work OK on fairly small, homogenous societies. As far as I know it's never been tried in any large, industrial society.
Somewhat. I agree with some parts of Communism. Id be more happy with just Socialism, though I disagree with a lot.Anyone consider themselves a communist?
Does considering yourself a communist when you do not live in a communist state have any meaningful value or purpose? In other words, can you be meaningfully called a communist if you aren't part of a communist system?
Would you consider the Hutterites communist? I've never heard of any black market or general discontent with oppressive government in Hutterite colonies.
