Nowadays we have highly effective meds to cure all kind of diseases. Millions of people can live a healthier and longer life. Sure, some people had to die before these meds came onto the market, but that sacrifice of human life was worth it.
The same goes for communism, even if millions have to die in the testing phase, we have to try it and try it again, and billions will live!!

get rid of money and bring in credits for doing good things for your fellow man.
not doing mad insane sh)t for money.
so if you dispose of posien legally into thge sea you do not get money
if you discover a way to help old ladies cross the road without slowing down traffic you are a warded credits/aka positive money
all the patenets for mutalating pestasides and plastic manufactoring waste will all be banished and in comes new and tested methods for orgainc farming and clean bio degradable plastics for all your needs.
:P

money is the credit you speak of. it was a system of reward and trade that was inevitably abused by people that know how to make more and don't have scruples. it will always be this way.
but remember it gets better all the time and people are less selfish than they once were. imagine living a few hundred years back (which is a mere flicker of time in human history). look how much fairer british society is compared to then. shit, even compared to 20 years ago we were much worse off.
you don't change humanity with communism year zero crap, you change humanity with films, art, stories, and ideas that inspire people to apeal to there own goodnesses. oliver twist, for example, played a big part in changes made to the child labour stuff. have you seen that film SCUM? it got that prison shut down! that's how humanity grows and that's why you are on the internet, allowed to type whatever you want, instead of dying at 12 years old working the feilds in mid winter! it's all down to good people passing something on, it's slow but it's working.

communism works well in Star Trek.
but that's only because they have matter replicators and unlimited resources.

Communism does work; if everyone in the population agrees with the leader of the Communist revolutions ideas...
oh but there is that pesky problem of people actually wanting to own things.
Well, actually even then the main sympathizers die off as the Communist country becomes a faux dictatorship aka an oligarchy.
Communism = fail Communism with Capitalist ties = win Civilians being brave enough to overthrow Communism = epic win
