This gem from the immortal Mr. Zappa hits the nail on the head. There are a seemingly infinite number of reasons why communism doesnt and will never work... maybe its the constant attack it comes under from the rest of the free world, or maybe its because communist governments are always underfunded, or maybe its something to do with the dictators. But all of these problems run in the same vein, and that is that people want something essentially. It might just be stuff like the ridiculous things that we spend too much money on, like designer underwear, or completely useless things like Beats by Dre; but more likely what they want is the stuff that we take for granted, like social media, the ability to travel outside of the country, freedom of the press, imported goods, or in the case of North Korea, food. People really just want to own themselves, which is essentially not allowed in the communist state breakdown. And thats why communism will go down in the history books as #2 in the Cold War.
