No country has managed a transition to communism, all of them got turned into various types of authroritarian dictatorships. There is no known method for transitioning to communism and maintaining it.
To be fair, when they tried outside influences actively sabotaged the attempt.
Would you know whether or not democratic socialism is a good prospect in that regard? A flavor of which that remains capitalistic, but using worker coops instead of the top down monarchistic approach to institutional governance?
Communism in its true form is unsustainable economically and defies basic human sociology and psychology.
