No country has claimed to have achieved communism. Many other places have tried but it’s usually crushed by capitalist or sometimes even by states claiming to be socialist. It’s also a really simple and tbh ahistorical explanation to claim that communism didn’t work simply because “it was confronted with reality”.
That may be your interpretation of that matter. But going with your interpretation, why is that? Maybe because communism fails every time anyone tries to make it a reality?
Exactly countries do not exist in a vacuum. Every single country that has worked for national sovereignty (not even explicitly socialism) has been subject to brutal aggressions from imperialist countries.

Do countries exist in a vacuum?
A country never exists in vacuum. So when would this work?
for a start, we can try letting a couple form without a US backed coup?

Economic blockades, terrorism, invasions, coups, etc…
So communism is a pipedream
A pipedream would be to think this is the end of history.
Thats not what im saying. But if you were to change sweden to communism now, say the communism party wins. Would that be successful?
