A comprehensive list of all communist successes

[u/not_my_real_name_2]

I'd like to report a murder... of a straw man.

[u/Even_Buddy_7253]

Depends what you mean by 'worked'. China is doing goddamn well for themselves. The people arent doing well, but the government is.

[u/Dramatic_Bat9686]

Could you define Communism? In this sub even healthcare is called communist, so are countries with social market economies included?

[u/TheGardiner → u/Dramatic_Bat9686]

Most of this sub couldnt fill half a page with their knowledge on any political or economic topic.

[u/agentel123]

Communism never worked, it is a proven fact. Social democracy worked in Northern European Countries.

[u/Fun_Assignment_5637 → u/agentel123]

and those countries are monarchies so mostly right wing

[u/agentel123 → u/Fun_Assignment_5637]

Monarchy doesn't determine right or left wing, policies are determined by elected governments.

[u/Simpoge39 → u/Fun_Assignment_5637]

So UK is right wing? 😅

[u/agentel123 → u/Simpoge39]

The Labour Party is radical left by American standards, center-left by European Standards.

[u/TokiWart00th88]

I would say Vietnam, they’ve really cornered the market on t shirt manufacturing

[u/Percy_Black]

Ehh, China?

[u/DunningKrugerinAL → u/Percy_Black]

Are you serious?

[u/WishyWill → u/Percy_Black]

Says someone who’s never set foot in China. Smh.

[u/Southpark_Republican → u/Percy_Black]

China has communist government , but a capitaist economy that only those loyal to th CCP have total access to. Pare this with China's rampant slave labor, human rights atrocities, totalitarian state control and horrible living conditions for the vast majority of the population, and China is similar to the Shinra government in Final Fantasy VII. In that game Shinra "China" is waging a war against Wutai which is modeled after Japan who China has historically hated ever since WW2. China even have their own Professor Hojo, except he created Covid19 instead of Sephiroth.

[u/Ok-Wrongdoer-9647 → u/Percy_Black]

Rampant slave labor and human rights atrocities, totalitarian state control and horrible living conditions for the vast majority of the population is certainly one way to define success

[u/outwest88 → u/Percy_Black]

China is capitalist.

[u/xAuntRhodyx → u/outwest88]

You can be capitalist and communist.. people really dont understand the difference between economics and politics huh..

[u/inventingways → u/xAuntRhodyx]

They can't even tell the difference between socialism and communism. Just idiots regurgitating slogans they were spoon fed in a facebook group.

[u/Possible-Month-4806]

It also isn't working here in Minneapolis.

[u/StarStuff-Human-88]

I gotta admit that Trump nationalism view are on track to shadow views of Stalin and Putin. Not rhat it will lead to those results but still feels quite sketchy. This is scary stuff but I agree communism doesnt have resounding success.

[u/NoticeAwkward1594]

We don't need pro Palestine people on this sub. Ban them.

[u/Some_Aardvark3130]

[u/Relative_Instance_17]

Hmmmm... Democratic People's Republic of Korea? Also known as "North Korea?"

Yes, they're successful at having a Communist regime. Of course, North Korea is the best nation of Communism. North Korea is best at mass execution, mass surveillance, involuntary servitude of mandatory service of the military, no internet, propaganda, anti-America sentiments, etc...

[u/SenorSalvaje]

I ran into some idiots the other day - Trotskyists passing out leaflets. There are some hilarious videos out there of people that formerly lived through communism in Eastern Europe talking to clueless students advocating this murderous ideology. They're really entertaining.

[u/Purple_Nerve_7115]

But I thought we are all Nazis.

[u/TacticalGlob → u/Purple_Nerve_7115]

Pardon me sir?

[u/Ok-Analyst-874 → u/TacticalGlob]

He/she was joking, relax.

[u/Purple_Nerve_7115 → u/TacticalGlob]

That’s what the libs call us. It was a joke.

[u/LuckyGoldBoi → u/Purple_Nerve_7115]

Liberals are also stupid who only listen to the media instead of actually fucking focusing on stuff, for example, Elon Musk. It wasn't a Nazi salute, it was him, spreading out his love to the people in the top stand

[u/xAuntRhodyx → u/Purple_Nerve_7115]

You mean far leftist.. not liberals.. people really dont know the difference..

[u/No-Quarter4321]

But but they just didn’t do it right! /s

[u/BearBeaBeau]

[u/Simpoge39]

You forgot to list “their imagination” as one of the
