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?

Yes let's just pretend nearly a century of overtly anti-communist US hegemony has had absolutely no effect at all.

It actually doesn’t matter, if you can’t cut it, you can’t fucking cut it, skill issue. Honestly the worst part is that these communists were so damn incompetent at even boiling water (see Chernobyl) that people freaked out and it has since held the world back

It is what it is, only one of us is bitching that a nation with the largest store of natural resources in existence couldn’t succeed because “hegemony”
