I can beat that; >>65 needs to find out how to use a comma and the Shift key, not to mention how to type with fingers instead of his penis.

My opinion on why Communism doesn't 'work' is that it's essentially a closed system. Unlike in capitalist societies, innovation is not rewarded organically (i.e. by an almost Darwinian selection of technology) and thus Communist societies continually lag behind unless pushed forward artificially, such as in the Soviet Union during the Space Race and the Cold War when government research was the only research. This planned innovation is a drain on resources, expending when it could be generating revenue. Venture capitalism was responsible for the assembly line, lightbulb, alternating current, Windows, etc. In nature, any closed system tends towards entropy; from this entropy a more stable -- perhaps 'fit' -- system emerges: capitalism.
