Communism doesn't work on a large-scale, and it's not sustainable.

Have you ever heard of little thing called "economy of scale"? The bigger scale is - the more sustainable it is.

By it's very nature it's extremely prone to abuse, and fundamentally impossible to install any sort of checks and balances on a single party-system.

"checks and balances" do not prevent abuse. They are not designed to.

Look how bad it is with a two-party system in the US.

In my opinion two-party system is worse than single-party system and full pluralism. In single-party system there is only one party to blame, while in many-parties system no party can control discourse. While in two-party system both parties can agree to screw over people and finger-point at each-other, only creating illusion of pluralism.

And that besides societal issues two-party system creates like strong polarization.
