I know why communism didn't work.

Damn straight. It;s only flaw is being unable to work around human greed - a doctor these days would never work for the same rate as a pigherder due to his developed sense of entitlement.

Pity really -I like bacon more than immunisations...

Yeah, stuff is good.

It's more like the old saying "you're only as _____ as your weakest member" and in a communistic state, if there's a weakest member, it becomes everyone.

I don't think you know what fascism is if you think it would work for a full-body of government.

Communism could work with a population of like 20 people, but that's about it.

Hmmm I'm not so sure. Here in NZ a lot of social liberties are being restricted, ironically in the interest of becoming more liberal. For example, the state dictates how a child can and cannot be disciplined. This sort of thing appears to be a gradual descent into the common definition of communism.

When someone actually thinks Fascism and Communism are the same thing I can't help but to be pessimistic.

Communism as introduced immediately would not work as it would be such a huge culture shock it would inevitably be overturned. But if it is something that is filtered in over a long period of time, it could be introduced with out people even noticing. Hence, working, due to complete ignorance of the situation.

Is it truly ignorance is it more complacency? Governments get involved with personal affairs all the time, it doesn't mean they will lean towards a communistic regime. People could just be desensitized to government BS and just take it.

China is more fascist than communist these days in my opinion... but either way it's bad there.

Communism doesn't work because people are and will always be individuals. Personal freedoms are more important to most people than group goals. It's not greed. It's just philosophy. I know what is better for me than the government. I want to make those choices not the government.

It totally depends on the leader. If the leader is really bad and corrupted, doesn't work.

If the leader is really nice and doesn't do dumb thing, it works.

Close but the correct answer is: "Because people want too much stuff."
