| There hasn't even been a state or country that has practiced true communism so far. |

Both of which can never be rid of, unfortunately |

| Communism tends to be followed by genocide when implemented violently. |

Communism has always failed. Look at former countries that were Communist, some managed to pull through, others are struggling.
I am a Monarchist. |

This reeks with stupidity.
"I am a Monarchist."
That is even more stupid.

So, you're saying that I am stupid.
Look at Russia.
Look at China.
Look at Vietnam.
Look at Cuba.
Look at North Korea.
Tell me how they are good? |

Isn't NK a communist? But, then it probably isn't a true communist I assume. |

The thinking behind communism isn't bad in my opinion, but it fails in the economy part. And it isn't really that "equal". Leaders have far more power than a citizen. |

They where/are never a communist nation to begin with.
The Soviets were fascist more than communist. So are the Chinese. |

| I'm surprised Cambodia/Kampuchea didn't make it onto that list, though in that age it was more of an oversized work camp than a country. There's also Laos, but no one seems to give a crap about that. |

| All "communist" countries were not communist. They were Marxist-Leninist. |

| Cambodia, Laos and the early stages of the Soviet Union during Lenin's leadership were very close to being essentially communist by definition. The main deviant factor being that even if society and human judgement were to reach a utopian level of development (which is a possibility, no matter how unlikely it may seem), the basic notion of politics requires a form of government, thereby causing a deviation in social position between a country's leadership and it's citizens, and hence, evoking a flaw in communism's principal concept: total equality. |

| Cambodia, Laos,Soviet Union, and other Marxist-Leninist countries were never close to being communist. They practiced the policy called "Socialism in One Country" which was a complete contradiction to all of Karl Marx's ideals who stated that socialism must be worldwide and international. |
