Communism doesn't exists today as it was in the past. China's communism is not what the soviet used to be, they are really capitalists.
Do you think communism can strike back again somewhere in the world ?

I don't think its possible for a communism to appear in todays world as it has been in the past. It sounds good on the books, but is almost impossible to play out.

It seems that in history, in an economy slump communism seems to shine, but to be a permananet stable government is not an ideal position for communism.

Of course, what Communism is, is that everyone is equal. You do your part and I do mine. At the end of the month, we all get equal money and food. Sounds good, right? Wrong. It is human nature to try to better yourself. That is not allowed with communism. It sounds good on the books, but is corrupted and flawed.

I've noticed that any system cannot work on its own. That's why the U.S. adds in a little bit of Socialism with its Capitalism. Communist countries tend to drift away from Communism and towards something else (usually Capitalism) because they know it won't work. I think if you mixed Communism with a bit of Capitalism (as Lenin did), you'd have a good economy. Of course I can't remember if Lenin's NEP (New Economic Policy) actually worked, I'll have to check up on that.

I'd also like to point out that it'd be great to have a Communist society somewhere on Earth.

unfortunately its the nature of the beast (human nature) to one up the next guy
"oh yeah you have a nice car? well mines better"
im all for a "everyone is equal" society but it wont work due to human corruption
look at democracy. on paper it is wonderful
add in human, red tape, and capitalism its "working" but not to its fullest potential
there has never been a true "Communist" state. they have all been dictatorships
a true Marxist Communist society can concieveably only exist online where everyone is equal and even then theres bandwidth
