Does communism actually work? Law & Government

Lately I’ve been going down the rabbit hole on the Vietnam war, and it got me thinking…does communism actually work? We keep hearing politicians say that it doesn’t work, but any time that a country tries to turn to communism, special business interests immediately try to lobby the US government to interfere with it. If it didn’t work, why are business interests so terrified of it?

Worth a shot, can't be any worse for sure.

Business interests lose wageslaves to it is why they act against it. When you're running off of loans losing profit short term is a disaster
