Only under genuine communism will the masses control their conditions of work--and the culture, economy and politics of society.

See, that's why it won't work. Humans need leaders. I suppose the intentions were good, at first, in the Soviet Union, China, Cuba, et al, but it all rolls around to the same old garbage government control.
There is and never will be such a thing as "genuine communism". Besides, I like my stuff and I don't want to share it with anyone else.

"Humans need leaders."

And we pick such good ones, Pol Pot, Stalin, Lenin, Hitler...

The only was for communism to work is for everyone to be totally honest, totally dependable, un-selfish and of general good will. In other words, their ain't many humans like that. Maybe if we had a hive-mind like the ants.
