The follower of an ideology based on the premise that there should be state control over the means of production. This means that all farms and factories henceforth belong to the government. Private property is also abolished. This means everything you own now belongs to the state. While this system breeds corruption, as a few men are left to handle the resources of an entire nation, this system still sees its fair share of supporters in the west. Perhaps the most prominent communist regime was the Soviet Union, widely known for its corrupt political system, and tendency to machine gun its own people.
Communists claim to follow the ideals set forth by Karl Marx. however, Marx's ideas were very vague, so this led to spin offs from his original idea. Leninism, Stalinism, and Maoism are perhaps the three biggest break-offs from the original ideas of Marx.
While there have been claims that "Communism hasn't been implemented properly," such claims have not stood up to the test of time. Giving a small group of elites control of a nation will always lead to a dictatorship.
