Oh please, what exactly are you trying to argue? What is this, Voyager, shutting down Tuvok with a cry of "this isn't about logic" every other episode? It's ALWAYS about logic. It doens't pay to be too loyal to one's heart. It'll lead you to obliteration. (Seriously, apparently in KH2 even if you are doing horrificly evil things, so long as you are "following your heart" it's still a "good thing" TM. Case in point: the attitude towards Malificent near the end.)
But really, communism's flaw is the failure to take into account that for the system to work, a governing body with the authority to cease and distribute assets is required, and any body with that sort of control is easily corrupted. No, it does not "sound logical". Not to anyone that thinks through ideas further than "does this sound poetic to me?" which seems to be about as far as most people go. I mean really, it is SICKENING that the main thing people seem to care about listening to speeches from polititians is whether or not they have some "humanizing" story to tell. I don't care about your daughter's girl scout adventures in caring for a kitten (that are as likely made up on the spot as not, no evidence for this irrelevent nonsense is offered either). I care about your policies!

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
