I don't see how. Manipulating market forces always results in unforeseen second-order effects that you then have to figure out how to manage. If a small group of hippies want to start a commune and test the labor theory of value, good luck to them, but I wouldn't want to live there.
Honestly pretty much all communist regimes have been leaders realizing that it doesn't work and taking advantage of the suckers who fell for it.
Communism only makes sense in theory if you don't know that the foundational principle of communism, the labor theory of value, was debunked a century before Marx was born.
So in addition to being a genocidal madman he was also a plagiarist and a shitty scholar.
No, it doesn't. Communism proposes that the state will have unique knowledge that one side of the supply-demand equation lacks, and will correct the invisible hand and "balance" the weaker side.
Instead, we see that it takes an inordinate amount of resources, usually guesses wrong, and opens up the state to massive corruption. You might as well propose that a theocracy works in theory because the leader will be empowered with divine ability.
Communism in theory makes a lot of sense
Too bad we live in reality where someone will ALWAYS abuse power and people will ALWAYS take a bigger slice of the pie if they can
