The only environment that communism works in is one where the people truly care about eachother. Nobody really gives a damn after they work all day and then see their money go to somebody they've never met. Anyways, we all live in a communist environment for most our lives - we call it a family. Everyone does their part and everyone strives for the greater good of the whole family. Want an example of a sucessful commie state? Look at the american indian tribes. Everyone cared about eachother and each person made their own contribution to the tribe - hunters, warriors, chiefs, child-bearers, cooks, etc. Everyone gave what they could. But unlike in modern socialism, in an indian tribe they'd kick you out for being lazy. In socialist Europe, and correct me if I'm wrong, you get a big fat check for just sitting on your ass. Communism only works well in a close-knit community where everyone knows eachother and grew up with eachother. If the tribe got too big then it would inevitably break off into new, smaller tribes.

So, no, I don't think communism could work on a large scale. The chinese are moving more and more towards capitalism, because they know they have to if they want to catch up to the US. Captalism is the only way. You get what you earn and then you can distribute your earnings to your family/tribe as you see fit. The indians were not communist by force from a ruling elite; they were communist by choice. In a capitalist society, we have the freedom to make that choice...
