It's pretty much intellectually dishonest to claim that communism 'works', but that every country in which it has been implemented, and failed, just hasn't done it correctly.

My point is not that communism 'works' but has yet to be correctly implemented; rather my point is that it is an idea that can exist in theory only. It's a theoretical construct that does not work when implemented in the real world. That doesn't mean I don't think it has anything to offer as a theory. None of our systems derive from a single source. You no more live in a pure state of capitalism than can I live in a pure state of communism.

The fact is that communism and socialism exist in their pure form only in the realm of theory.
