Communism goes agianst human nature. A true communist state where everyone is equal, where no classes exist where there is no elite can't be achieved in real life because humans want to be better then others, we strive for competition, we want to be richer, more successful and be the elite. So communism can't work.

There are 2 issues I see.

1. People aren't actually equal, regardless of what they want.
2. Without market prices, we have no idea how to distribute resources. This is why free market economists like Mises were able to predict the fall of communism decades in advance.
