Why doesn't communism work now?

Because people don't want to work different jobs and get paid the same...

But in the future robots/computers will do all the work and humans will just chill...

You can't have people be equal in social status than everyone for many reasons:
1. Location,
2. Education
3. Occupation

...until robots decide what they're doing is total BS and start killing mankind and we have to go watch the matrix 1-3 (harder than the process of defeating the robots) to learn how to defeat them

No, communism doesn't work because the leader gets greedy and turns it into a dictatorship. But, I do agree with the part that communism may someoday work.... that would be awesome. Would make John Lennon happy anyway...

Oh and also, in true communism people don't get paid at all. It works like favors, a doctor will work because as long as he is working as a docotor, a constuction worker will build his home for free, in exchange for the doctor treating the construction worker for free, and so on.

True communism doesn't work. Some people are natural leaders, some are natural followers. Also, how would you control the anarchy. If you start dealing out punishments, you better be very careful...because what makes that person who deals with them and punishes them a higher class/status in a communism world?

Seeing as how I am a Marxist myself, I do agree that "communism" will work someday. In my opinion, the best form would follow mostly to Marx's views, but would have to factor in the "middle class"; a concept that Marx did not take into consideration.

Well, they've allowed all jobs that previously belonged to working class America to go overseas and to illegal immigrants, so anything's possible.

No, communism won't work because there are always going to be those who want more than what is rationed. These people will always find a way around the system, be it legally or otherwise. So, if that's the case, communism will not "work".

Communism simplifies things. Instead of having upper, middle and lower class, where even the lower class can affect change in society, communism gives you the working class and the ruling class. The working class get subjugated and the ruling class live like kings.

I've got to wonder what the teenage fascination is with Communism. Is it some kind of fad these days? Even Lenin couldn't get the system to work. In fact his application of it went south so fast he had to impose capitalism on the Russian economy just to stop the country from tearing itself apart.

That's nonsense - Communism can never work because some people will wrk harder than others, and some people will be even lazier because they know that they will be taken care of.  Haven't y'all ever worked a job with some rich guy who was the manager's son?  Or gone to school with some rich kid who knows that they don't need to work since they'll always get bailed out should they get in trouble?  Now what if everyone in town had that same mindset?

Where do you get this notion of "teenager fascination" with communism? I'm pretty sure if you asked teenagers what their views on communism are, most would say either it's not good or that it'll never work.

They'll say that it will never work. But if you ask them what they really think about it, they would be very likely to say something along the lines of "Well communism promotes sharing and equality all around so it would be cool if it worked". What they don't understand is it wouldn't. Karl Marx may be considered a social genious by some, but paying close attention to the Communist Manifesto reveals he wasn't intelligent or even a visionary in any sense of the description. He was a straight out LUNATIC. He actually thought parents should never get to meet their children. That kids should immiedietly go into possesion of the state once they are born. The fact that most people are oblivios to this little tidbit straight from TCM indicates many of them have never even given it a peek. And just like communism as a cool new way to express their rebelliousness.

I'd rather have flawed communism than true communism. At least in flawed communism, you're given the opportunity to succeed via good ol' fashioned corruption.

communist countries have never really had much of a problem w/ people working hard, or filling certain jobs. I think people would be more authentic with their career choices if every job paid the same.

The problem with communism and why it doesn't work is rampant corruption due to too many people with unchecked power.

You can't have people be equal in social status than everyone for many reasons:
1. Location,
2. Education
3. Occupation
...

In Communism, the government will more strictly regulate education, occupations will most likely be chosen by the government for the people based on the persons skills, and people will be relocated by the government to where they are needed. Personally, I don't think it will work, because people don't like being told what to do. I think socialism would be the ideal, but first people need to realize that taxes aren't inherently bad.
