---ONE:
I'll start with a popular and easy one, entry level critique.

IT HAS NEVER BEEN TRIED

Commies point out that stateless-moneyless-classless society never happened, so, naturally, communism has never been tried, so one couldn't say it was tried and failed.

I could claim that humans can transform into Unicorns if they really try hard.
If someone points out that no one turned into a unicorn I'll say: "Exactly, you don't see any unicorns, which means they didn't really try hard"

Even smart people have this perverse understanding of cause and effect when it comes to ideology.

---TWO:
CAPITALISM IS EVIL

But just because there's something evil there doesn't have to be a cure for it.
I'm not saying stop trying to find solutions I'm merely stating the fact that some things are inescapable, all life will end someday, does that mean there OUGHT to be way to avert it?

---THREE:
JUST DO IT!

Certain things have a veil of complexity in them, that makes it really hard to see if something is possible or not, communism might be one of those things, something very close to being real but ultimately not enough to materialize.

Just like a maze, there are paths that are 99% correct until the last turn where you find a dead-end.
It may give you the feeling that you are correct because you're so close but it actually means you have to try an entirely different route.

---THREE:
MARX DIAGNOSED CAPITALISM

You could find a billion things wrong with capitalism doesn't mean you have found the solution.
Just because we diagnose a person with a virus doesn't mean we are even anywhere close to having a cure.
Sometimes the solution to a diagnosed problem is a million times harder.
Human societies are the most complex systems there can be.

---FOUR:
DICTATORS USE COMMUNISM AS FRONT TO SEIZE POWER

Power is addictive.
Especially PoMos would agree that power is incredibly resilient at maintaining itself by any means necessary, in any group that occupy any form of power.

Maybe it was used as a front a few times...but again you could be confusing cause and effect, MAYBE THE GOVERNING COMMUNIST GROUP JUST EMBRACED POWER AND THEIR POSITIONS? OH YEAH I MANAGED TO BECOME A GODKING OF A STATE NOW I'LL DISSOLVE THE LEADERSHIP GROUP AND GO BACK TO PLOWING MY SMALL FARM AND DIE IN HORSE SHIT LMAO

---FIVE:
>human nature? incentives? power? don't make me laugh : ))

Just because humans have a deep capacity to change and adapt that doesn't imply magical endless capacity and for all aspects of a human.
Not everything is a magical software that we can rewrite at a whim.

YOU WANT EVERYONE TO BECOME SELFLESS HARDWORKING COMMUNIST ASCENDANT BUDDHA DRONES AND YOU CAN'T EVEN STICK TO A FUCKING DIET TO SAVE YOUR FUCKING LIFE YOU FAT FUCK, TOTALLY NOT RATIONALIZING TO INFINITY AND BACK, BASED AND COPEPILLED COMRADE
