I think we're talking past each other. You say "communism doesn't work because we can't reach it", and I say "it's not entirely clear if communism doesn't work because we haven't managed to reach it".

Don't you think that you risk missing interesting ideas if you reduce communism to temporary dictatorships?

No, I'm saying it has inherent problems that means it doesn't work.

No, I've already mentioned that workers unionising under a capitalist system has brought more benefits to workers than communism.
