I am not sure a Communist system has ever successfully been put in place. The USSR and China, to quote societies which have claimed to be communist, almost immediately turned into dictatorships where the privileged few were massively better off than the rest, about as far from communist as you can get. Humans are greedy, selfish and ruthless and any egalitarianism is not natural to the species...
