What is your opinion about Communism?

"As long as they pretend to pay me I'll pretend to work." Humans don't work for the greater good, they work for themselves. This is why communism will never work.
BTW, I told that to the editor of the Marxist Review when I was taking one of his classes at Purdue. He looked confused. 
Good on paper, bad in practice.

My opinion on Communism is that it is way worse than Capitalism and we don't need it.
I mean, look at what happened to the Soviet Union back in the 20th century. We need Socialism, not Capitalism or Communism.
Very bold thing to say.

I lived under communist rule for a several years... communism wasn't very nice in Poland.... i remember the police hours after which we couldn't go out with the house
i remember people who denounced each other... i remember the empty shelves in the shops .. no sweets, meat and so on.... there was almost no TV.... but i also remember that as a kid, i spent good time with peers, because no one wanted to sit at home... so we spent a good time together....  but/and i am certainly not a Communist
"Alone is what I have. Alone protects me."
“I may be on the side of the angels but don’t think for one second that I am one of them.” “The important thing is not to stop questioning. Curiosity has its own reason for existence. One cannot help but be in awe when he contemplates the mysteries of eternity, of life, of the marvelous structure of reality. It is enough if one tries merely to comprehend a little of this mystery each day."
If Communism has ever worked, I don't know where. It seems to always go along with Totalitarianism.
