I don't think anyone knows what it's like, was there any communist country which wasn't also both a dictatorship and poor?
Pretty hard seeing the good and bad of communism when it's always alongside the two worse things that can happen to a country.
P.S. Wait, actually not the two worse things... there's also war, and that applies to most of them too.
It's capitalism that doesn't work.
Capitalism doesn't benefit the vast majority of us. But the purpose of capitalism is to enrich a fortunate few at the expense of the rest of us who will be reduced to perpetual wage slavery until we die. Capitalism is working a treat in that regard.
That point is def made in that link.
