The problem with communism is it assumes everyone wants that same thing. There are some evil baddies that don't give a shit about anyone but themselves. They only care about the money and the power and are usually the ones that eventually become the leaders.
If someone can tell me of an actual communist country that has worked, I'm all ears. I'm sure you could do it on a small scale, because you can weed out the baddies. On a large scale though? The greeds will take over just like anything else.
I mean, if the CIA weren’t actively undermining communist governments and causing them to collapse, or funding spoiler or puppet candidates to distort the communist government’s growth and ideals, because communism is a direct assault on capitalism and their capitalist overlords… then maybe you’d see a functioning communist country…
Resilience to outside interference and internal perturbations is one of the criteria based on which a system has to be evaluated.
Ain't looking too good for capitalist society then, either...
