Applications of that, such as Leninism, Stalinism, Maoism, etc., are taking bits of communist theory and muddling it with others to create something abhorrent. I know that you understand this, and I know that I should not be too surprised when certain individuals display a lack of knowledge on this, but I can't help it.
Then you should know that Communism is best suited for small groups like those of the 60's and 70's Hippie Communes and not for a country as big as the United States.
Communism can only work if everyone taking part agrees with the principles and will work towards achieving that goal and even then there will be those who will feel slighted because there will be someone or a group who doesn't pull their weight.
Communism is truly, in it's purest form a perfect and utopian society but the human can and will never be perfect so it will never work.
