No because everyone died before it could get there

It's been tried many times and it always fails because it forgets that the ultimate problem every time is the very government that it's trying to make all powerful to achieve it

No because communism is Marx's fever dream. Best one can wish for when trying to is some sort of deadly socialism like in the soviet Union under Lenin or Stalin

Generally, the more people murdered by the government is the best indicator of how hard communism was tried.

No, only a transitional socialist state that had to immediately back down (the NEP for example) in the face of imperialist intervention, civil war, its practical isolation from the communist movement in Western Europe, and various crises inherited from the old regime, not least of which was the backwardness of the Russian economy.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Communism_in_20_years

>"Communism in 20 years" was a slogan put forth by Nikita Khrushchev at the 22nd Congress of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union in 1961. Khrushchev's quote from his speech at the Congress was from this phrase: "We are strictly guided by scientific calculations. And calculations show that in 20 years we will build mainly a communist society".[a]

>[..]

>The latter political slogan is attributed to Kremlin speechwriter Elizar Kuskov, who allegedly quipped "this slogan will survive centuries", expressing a cynical attitude as to whether the goal could genuinely be attained.[2]
