It likely would not continue to function very long. US citizens hold their freedoms dear and are of a peculiarly rebellious sort. US citizens tend to rebel against authority even when it is not so overbearing and controlling as in a communist country such as China or North Korea. Of course, being a democratic country, it is highly unlikely that a true communist group could take control outside of a coup.
Communism (classless stateless society) has never existed.
Communism would create a society with no social classes.
That eventually the need to have a 'state' would be obsolete, and that the state would disappear while the classless society 'temporarily dictated by the proletariat' would remain.
would we be able to function in society without rules
Socialist.
No, it is not very close to communism at least in the way that Karl Marx envisioned both systems. Under socialism, there would be a government that would own and control the means of production and steer the economy. There would be no private ownership of property. Property would be controlled by the state. Under most socialist systems today, many goods and services, such as health care, are provided by the state, but individuals still own their own property. Some socialist regimes are actually more repressive of their people than they were under capitalist systems. According to Marx, under communism there would be no government at all. It would wither away as being unnecessary. With government gone, the means of production would owned and controlled by everyone. There would be no social class divisions. Members of society would work for the good of the whole society rather than for individual gain. As Marx put it under communism, people would contribute toward the good of the whole according to their abilities and take according to their need.
No, Communism died simply because it was an unstable system. Under Communism, everyone was poor and wouldn't work much. The Soviet Union also never had a good leader. However, I did hear that under Communism, it didn't allow for a powerful military. Not sure whether it's true or not though...
There would be no ruler in a "communist government" to use the terms of this question. This is because under true communism there would be no government at all. It would have withered away and disappeared as being unnecessary. The various industries in the economy would be run by administrators for the benefit of the entire society rather than individual profit. The "proletariat" or working class would not be the rulers, because communism would be a classless society. The terms "proletariat" and "bourgeoisie" refer to social classes and even these would have been wiped out under communism.Prior to the true communist society and immediately after the overthrow of capitalism, society would go through a period of socialism, which would be ruled by a democratically elected "dictatorship of the proletariat."The proletariat, that is the workers who own nothing but the right to sell their own labor, would be rulers after the overthrow of the capitalist sytem, but NOT in a communist government.There would be no ruler in a "communist government" to use the terms of this question.

Under communism, you would find the least private ownership.
Minimum quality of life. As a welfare function (mathematically), it would be represented as a min value function.
Totalitarian would describe a government that controls everything. COMMUNISM
Karl Marx predicted that the working class, or proletariat, would eventually rise up in a revolution against the capitalist system, overthrow the ruling class, and establish a classless society where the means of production are collectively owned.
