      it’s almost like American imperialism has made sure that any attempt has failed by economic and military disruption and injecting dictators with the goal of dissuading others from trying.

      the second there’s a success story western capitalism becomes unnecessary and a better system comes into view.

      Also communist economy is impossible to implement since there is no all knowing god to fuck all the people siphoning the money out via corruption. Communism is great if you can remove humans from the equation. Mofo humans fuck every system up, we are the problem.

      Tends to on a nation scale. But there’s still some good lessons to learn from it for smaller scale and nation scale too.

      That’s a pretty boilerplate criticism. While true to a great degree, it’s also true of a lot of western capitalist nations.

      It’s pretty hard to find information about real communist societies because media companies have it in their best interest to bury any good that has possibly been done by a communist society, meanwhile demonizing them and making them the enemy. You really have to dig to find honest information about communist societies.

      Moreover, a lot of otherwise successful communist regimes have been sabotaged and poisoned by capitalist interests. Either by literally arming fascists, or just by demonizing them with foreign policy and media coverage.
