Communism does have some things going for it namely the stateless equal society. But in practically no Communist Party has yet achieved the ultimate goal of communism and I doubt they ever will. Communist parties, in order to get into power, always have had to dismantle the old system that was in place to start the progress towards working to communism, mostly because of the political enemies of the new order.
That's where the problem is really, since rivaling ideologies might threaten the work towards communism they cannot be allowed to exist, so in reality democracy on a political level is pretty much incapable of working with communism. The second problem of course is when do you reach "communism" and what do you do then? It's very unclear on what the end result even is or how it looks like and of course there is nothing stopping certain people for using it for their own gain.
It's not all cloudy days, there are some things to strive for that communism does encourage. That we should be a more equal, free and less ignorant society and you shouldn't have to dedicate your life to working in a leather factory. You can definitely cherry pick the good things and you don't have to feel to call yourself a communist just because you like somethings that Marx or Lenin said but in my opinion it's not wise to subscribe to utopian ideas or ideologies.
