Welcome to Gaia! ::

Could it work under with the right leader? Like not a dictator and only one party. I would like to try it out but then again, The only thing I rule is my self and I dont think I could fight wars with only me or make a economy. So discuss away.
No because absolute power corrupts absolutely.

You wouldn't be able to find people who could run communism right
everything can possibly work razz /

But yeah Communism can work by not falling to strawmans and believing Communist states need to become some giant Autocratic state because people believe Russia did.

Communism has no state. People don't run themselves so while communism is a nice idea it wouldn't ever work.

I suggest a thought experiment. I will ask you questions and you will answer them, and we'll rate your knowledge of theoretical Communism based the decibel level of the ensuing laughter.

Question 1: What person in a place practicing Communism holds absolute power?

WALL-E is to soft for this job. We need someone tougher. How about a Transformer robot?
Definitely with emerging technology. Robotic labor can take care of the need for a working class. And genetic engineering can correct the problem with any rulers/abuse for power. Even without that there are ways to get closer to it, or make sure it works better. I mean with enough education, organization of the economy, and democratic checks you can greatly reduce the strain of work and check political power.

If you genetically engineered humans for more passive or moralistic tendencies you wouldn't need a state like you have today. The only reason for arguing for a state at that point is under extreme cases of hypothetical threat- alien invaders or some guy turning into a serial killer at random or a zombie outbreak or whatever.

Eugenics + Mass unemployment = Functioning Communism?
