Yes, but what is?  And what's your definition of "workable"?
Workable to whom?  The "democracy" we live in (we don't, we're
in a Republic, but oh well) works to a degree.  For some,
it works *very* well, while for others, it doesn't work
at all (yeah, I can give examples if needed:).

Communism, IMO, holds the same problem most forms of govt hold:
greed.  (Yes, this is an ubber-simplified statement.;)  I firmly
believe that, if we were able to geneticaly weed out greed from society,
most any form of govt would be workable.  At the very least, the
world would be a far easier place to live in. :)
