If only there were some kind of way for it to not devolve into totalitarian dictatorship...

Rather than placing absolute power of The State in one person's hands, start with an elected council of members whose number is not divisible by 2. Transition to a Stateless co-op arrangement. Congratulations you just implemented Communism the way it is intended to be implemented, and no dictator could screw it up.

Every system is bad and will ultimately fail for the vast majority. As long as humans partake in it.

Weird because China is succeeding quite well.

Probably more fascist than communist these days. My actual favourite theory though is that there are way more important things happening under the hood of nations, and whether they're called communist or democratic or whatever is just a veneer.

James A. Robinson's book Why Nations Fail for instance provides an interesting alternative way to look at this, that goes beneath the surface.
