As far as i know, communism from an origin and tought as it on the theoretical plane has TWO Big problems and those are:

  1. Comunism tends to not know what actually is needed to produce

in a capital-less society, being, on this ideal no money, nobody can’t really say what its needed, when, and how, hey maybe democracy can do a rough equivalent to that BUT not as good,decentralized and acurate as money itself.

  1. Comunism has a problem on incentives

Incentives, can be divided into by benefit,you can get something by doing other stuff, or you do that other stuff in hopes of avoiding a not so agradable scenario.

The thing is that communism, being a stateless, and buisnessless society on its end goal, only has to incentives, happy chemicals for doing something, its a matter that fullfils you or you directly need or social pressure, either good or bad, there is no other ,mostly, third way.

So I want to know wether how could it work in a modern,globalized society and how those two problems can be solved or not and on the how of the posible solution.

Btw, I want to know if im being rude or something,and my english is not that good but im genuinelly curious about how the left can solve these problems.

    Communism tends to not know what is actually needed to produce

    It can know, the issue is delay. It’s trivial to make statistics of units sold and make predictions for what should be produced next. But any change in people’s needs will take a while to propagate to statisticians, and then to production. Having a more direct feedback from people is very handy.

    Communism has problem on incentives

    Yes. But also, communism is considered to be the end goal for a society that has been grown, through socialism, in the respect for labor and understanding what makes it essential. Basically, the idea is to carry, through the generations, the idea that everything around you was made by people and you need to take part as well. It’s probably not possible in the short term, but it’s not the goal to go straight to communism. It’s sort of the beacon, and idea of what society can transform to over long time. Socialism is the first step, and it does work.
