We don't have communism here because we have never wanted it and we will never want it. It hasn't worked anywhere in the world because people are corrupt, have infinite wants and are not motivated by a closed economy and no freedom of speech.
Without motivation you have nothing, no creativity and no progress. Without at least an illusion of freedom you have no motivation.
The best society has a mixed economy and democracy. Getting the mix right is the issue.
