In a hypothetical world where everyone is honest and well-intentioned, I'd say yes. In the real world, I'd say no.

you mean the ideology? because many nations based on the ideology have functioned well and had a thriving populace.

but part of full communism is that it's global, which... I don't think is super compatible with the existence of nations in the first place

There's always going to be corruption in every system. However, corrupt communism is much worse than corrupt capitalism. Corrupt communism is places like North Korea or Russia. Corrupt capitalism is USA. Which do you prefer?

it's arguable on the domestic level.

it is not arguable on the international level: the US' international presence is way, way worse than either of them

Hell no. If capitalism is poison to society then communism isn't any better.

We're talking about a well-functioning nation with a thriving populace based on economic systems. How are those countries bad in terms of those conditions?

Our entire nation and economy rests on the notion that people will go out and buy things they don't need each and everyday by exchanging money for goods and services.

that populace is able to thrive because the nation has outsourced its underclass, to some extent, to another nation

Some people said Revolutionary Catalonia came close. I dont know much about it.

Some Shaker communes had a lot in common with Communism and did pretty well for themselves, but they were hardly nations

You're going to have to be more descriptive. What are these outsourced people doing, and why is it bad? And how much of it actually contributes to these functioning countries as a whole?

Meanwhile, China is trying it's best to be one of the worst countries in regards to human rights.

No, that is not the subject of the current discussion; although it not being so does not negate the possibility that my statement could also be applicable to it.
