A true democracy is something that is also unrealistic because then who will be the ones to tally the votes? Oh, vote on them eh? Great plan, who tallies THOSE votes in the mean time? Not to mention that once that's done, regardless of what side wins, the loosers may call farce upon whoever took the votes, and then a recount. Eventually, a large group gets sick of this, and boom, war and anarchy. A goverment is needed to control voting.
True communism, as Darunia said, will always fail. One notes how currently true communism doesn't exist. However, when a few of them started, they DID have true communism. However, a few people decided to get into control "to make sure everyone is still equal". It couldn't really be stopped. They took more than they needed, claiming they did need it. That's the problem. No one will EVER be perfectly honest like communism requires. Some jerks will ALWAYS come along to take advantage of it. Communism IS a perfect form of government. However, it's not meant for imperfect humans. Humans will always screw up communism. The best form of government for humans it seems is one where our petty greedy grasping ambitions are kept in check by OTHER people's petty greedy grasping ambitions. Make two opposing wills cancel each other out.

"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)
