Communism on a tiny scale where everyone decides to work together might be able to function properly if everyone pulls their weight but anything beyond tiny requires something to enforce the working class. Shouldn't a society be able to function on an internal scale (i.e. not fail) without outside forces needing to 'respect' them or 'recognize their legitimacy'? Communism either falls because people stop working (because they realize they don't have to) or because of the violence involved in keeping the people who decide to stop working, well, working.
