I read a short story years ago (can't recall name or author) about a space colony based on communisim. While everyone was treated as totally equal, nobody allowed to own anything, the society worked. However human nature eventually kicked in (a number of generations after the initial idealists had died of old age) and everything went to pot.
What I believe the author was trying to say is that Communisim works, as long as you're not a member of the human race...
