Communism was setup the way it is described by Marx, but it never lasts because it violates human nature.
I disagree. In fact the people attempting to 'set up' communism also disagreed...with each other. There are many ways of intepreting Marx, and the mensheviks and Bolsheviks each had their own analysis of how to go about creating a communist state. From the very start the project was riven with internal dissent and civil war. In such a climate, Strongmen flourish. Systems envisaged to promote democratic participation were in fact skewed to the needs of said Strongmen. Communism, as envisaged by Marx was never implemented.
