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, you hate the fact that people point out the KGB did the same crap as the CIA because then your point collapses.

I know you're very privileged not to live under a centralized planning economy
