[quote]But it does work-- it just so happens that being a new country, surrounded by capitalist enemies who want to see you fail because they're full of bougie pigs, is not good for longevity. A lot of systems of communism don't really have internal flaws (unless you want to look at say, Maoism, for example-- which had garbage theory-- or Stalinism-- which had the problem of literally daddy Stalin).

You say this like the problem isn't, as always, with capitalism.[/quote]
But it's not lol. The problem is that Lenin was a retard. They're full of internal flaws and it's never been successful and no person with a double/triple digit IQ is willing to be experimented on with something worse than the bubonic plague; the red one, because just like the black plague the red plague ends in death. They set back Russia which was modernizing to the point that Germans literally wanted war with them to stop their further advancement into a place where cannibalism was a valid means of survival and made millions of people emigrate because they knew what a shithole it was now.

I've been to Cuba although admittedly not Vietnam and it's one of the worst shitholes in the world, and that's in the hotels which are supposed to be """nice."""
