First off, the idea of communism was first thought up by Karl Marx. Communism as an idea sounds like it could work and probably could if it wernt for a few reasons. Since there has to be some knid of political leader, someone has more power than everone else, so everone i snot equal. there will always be some to take charge, such as Mao Se Dong (spelling?). The vast makority of the population will end up being very pooor, and the small amount left will be very rich. which leaves no middle class.
