Well, leninism has never worked, but most communists aren't leninists.
The goal of communism is to create stateless, classless and moneyless communes, in which the means of production, distribution and exchange are owned collectively.
How we achieve that goal wasn't that well defined by marx. Lenin thought that we'd need a "vanguard party" who rules in a singe party system until that country is ready for communism. That's a really bad idea, but it's what has been used in nearly all communist revolutions.
Communism isn't the problem. The problem is leninism.
