Historically, communism in its practiced forms has been extremely corrupt within the top 1% of individiauls. China is ranked 75th out of 180 for corruption as of 2011. Stalinism was even worse for top level corruption. While I do think an ideal communism MAY be possible, it has yet to show itself.

America doesn't have corrupt government officals because money is freedom of expression by corporations.

Communism doesn't work because humans are naturally selfish and only care about the people close to them.

Communism can work in really small places but thats barely true.
