I don't think that's exactly true.
On the large scale, like countries, yes I'd totally agree with that. Marx's idea of one party "as the vangaurd of the people" sounds like something dreamt up in an opium high.
On the small scale, like those little communal groups, communist principles do work. It's important to note that on such a scale, it is voluntary.
However, Marx's ideas of global communism as the end of pollitical evolution are stupid.
