Communism did not work because of a few reasons.
1. Dictator leadership. Absolute power corrupts. Stalin was worse than Hitler in terms of brutality towards peoples.
2. No reward for innovation. If you invent something in America, you patent it and become rich. In Communism, you don't. Where's the incentive to innovate?
3. No freedom. Believe or not, but freedom is the most important concept in the modern world. Freedom drives the US, and is the strongest incentive to fight oppression. Without freedoms, there is dissent.
4. No personal wealth. This goes back to the reward idea. In America, if you work, even a mediocre job, for 30 years, saving your money, you can retire and enjoy the wealth you have accumalated. In the Communist system, you work for 30-40 years and retire to nothing.
5. No possibility for change/reform. In the US, if the majority of the people don't like something about the government, they vote, and force change (i.e. John Locke). In the Communist system, the people have no voice.
