Yes it does, in a matter of speaking. In a Communist society, people work together for the benefit of mankind as a whole, and for the improvement of the general society and the welfare of their fellow citizens.
Let’s take Wikipedia for example. All of the articles on the website were made by volunteers – people who contributed their knowledge for the benefit of others in society, and not for financial gain. This shows that people would still be willing to work hard for the sake of others, even if their is no possibility of personal gain.
The peculiar thing is, many argue that Wikipedia is a better encyclopedia than other encyclopedias that were made by companies looking to make a profit (such as Microsoft Encarta or the Encyclopedia Britannica). Which suggests that Communism may not be a failed system after all.

If someone has access to the code used for hashing (like md5() in the opensource PHP code), why is it not reversible? Surely, you should be able to take the 32-bit string and re-do the steps one by one? I tried Google but didn’t find any clear answers.
Thanks.
