      Name a single country that actually implemented communism and wasn’t undermined by the West with coups, sanctions, or outright invasion.

      Oh and the word you’re looking for is “successful”. “Successive” is not in any way a synonym.

        China is successful from the capitalistic point of view, but it failed to uphold the ideals and principles of the system described in the document. Exploitation of the people is through the roof.

        China is communist in name only, in practice they are the definition of State Capitalism. I also wouldn’t describe a dictatorship that commits genocide as a success, in any case.

            Are you mixing me up with someone else? That was my first comment in this entire thread so that’s a lot of assumptions to throw on me. Nowhere did I say there weren’t socialist/communist success stories. The person I replied to specifically singled out China as an example of a communist success, all I pointed out is that they’re neither communist nor successful.
