No. A communist state did exist. Several actually.
They just never got past the first stage of communism... because communism never took over the world.
You can't have a dictator free communist state next to a capitalist state because 90% of the talented people are just going to pick up and leave to somewhere they can make a better living for themselves.
Communism needs a strong opressive force and first that fades away after people get socialized into the new system... and having around a capitalistic culture somewhere else in the world would just lead to the communist cultures demise.
Well that and you need several generations of programming before the majority of people would be willing to accept a communist like society.
