Communism as envisioned, cannot exist.

For communist to “work”, without becoming tyranny, every person in government must be utterly altruistic. Every single one. No exceptions.

That is literally impossible.

Even if it were, the fact even then that a huge portion of any given population would find such a system even if it did “work”, to be tyrannical simply by lording over every single person means it STILL wouldn’t “work” even if it did.

Communism relies on force.

Therefore every single communist system will (rapidly) devolve into murder and tyranny.

Always.

COmmunism has not andnever will be “tried”. The transition To Communism requires a totalitarian dictatorship which will never be relinquished to allow the “Worker’s Paradise” to bloom. The entire idea of communism is snake oil and only idiots buy it.

Paul Johnson's Modern Times in the first chapter entitled The First Despotic Utopia clearly exposes the necessarily violent origins of communism, with particular emphasis on Lenin.

His Intellectuals shreds Marx to ribbons, exposing him for the fraud he was:

What Marx could or would not grasp, because he made no effort to understand how industry worked...what emerges from a reading of Capital is Marx's fundamental failure to understand capitalism. He failed precisely because he was unscientific: He would not investigate the facts himself, or use objectively the facts investigated by others. From start to finish, not just Capital but all his work reflects a disregard for truth which at times amounts to contempt. That is the primary reason why Marxism, as a system, cannot produce the results claimed for it; and to call it 'scientific, is preposterous.

It's horrifying that the liberal "education" establishment has gained such a foothold that his fevered fantasies are promoted as credible and viable and capitalism is reviled from kindergarten (subtly) and openly in institutions of "higher" learning.

We're doomed unless we can reverse the process. I'm not sure we can before it's too late.
