PRC, USSR, Cuba, Vietnam, DPRK. All succeeded where others failed in defeating western colonialist attempts, and lifted hundreds of millions of people out of poverty.
PRC deserves special recognition for lifting more people out of poverty in the past 30 years than any other country in history... so much so that world poverty is increasing if we leave it out.
