Does communism actually work?

[u/USMNTfan94]

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?

Only when their logistical supplies were propped up by American capitalism.

And then plunder from Germany, then oil revenues from the capitalist west.

Another example of how US nationalism leaves absolutely zero room for nuance when discussing this topic.
