Sub-prime Bail Out

Technically it can never be implemented 100% as envisioned by Marx because humans can't do it; only robots can because it violates our very nature. Capitalism on the other hand, could be and does not violate human nature.

Again, I disagree. Communism doesn't sit well with our concept of what an advanced society is. There have been numerous cultures which have developed along broadly collectivist principles. Many of those cultures are cultures we deem to be anachronistic and undeveloped. But the people living within them are (or were) still humans and those cultures do not clash with their nature. Many such cultures have since been eroded through contact with our culture and our concepts of ownership, trade and the market. The reason communism appears to run contrary to human nature is that the kind of culture and sensibilities which 'won the race', so to speak, have not developed along broadly collectivist lines. But there were fits and starts of collectivism within the history and development of even these cultures.

There is nothing inherently natural about market forces, or inherently unnatural about collectivism or communism. We view such concepts from the perspective of people raised within one of those systems and as such we are viewing the one through the filter of the other.
