Serious question: has communism ever been proved to work at scale? (not communist regimes, the communist ideology)
No, it gets destroyed by a CIA-funded coup every time. (Read Jakarta Method)
But look at Vietnam, Laos, Cuba, Kerala, China, Burkino Faso for modern attempts at Socialism/Communism
They're all 'one-party states' aren't they?
Opposite of democracy... so whether they work well economically is irrelevant, since you're relying on the party not to become totalitarian. ๐ฌ
You think the Democrats and the Green party could stop the Republicans from becoming totalitarian because they could be voted in?
