Communism wasn't Marxism. Marxism has the probably even-bigger flaw of being completely impossible to put into practice in the real world.

That's the problem with the genius of Marx. He was able to quite convincingly deconstruct the issues with capitalism, without being able to recommend a better replacement that could survive first contact with the masses.
