Exactly what I was about to point out.... Marxism is saying that everyone gets to decide how everything operates, which though nice is impractical due to the fact not everyone knows everything, and there's not enough time to organise it as such. Communism was an attempt to make Marxism operable by making this decisions process the choice of a body of people. However, as so often happens, you get the dictatorship.
