    It’s a great idea that simply doesn’t work in practice

      It doesn’t work in practice when capitalist countries routinely snuff it out. You’re correct, but not for a good reason.

      What do you mean by that? I think it’s pretty evident by analyzing AES states that shifting the economy into a more collectivized and planned direction comes with numerous benefits. What do you mean when you say it “doesn’t work in practice?”

        I mean that every post communist country is very poor now, like Ukraine or Cuba

          The Cuban people are doing better now under Socialism than they were under the fascist slaver Batista. Their life expectancies grew dramatically, literacy rates among the best in the world from widespread illiteracy, and they have one of the world’s most progressive family codes despite massive embargo.

          Ukraine is Capitalist, the fall of the Soviet Union resulted in 7 million excess deaths over the entire former USSR and obliterated what was once a stable economy. There were issues with the later Soviet Economy due to poor economic reforms, but other Socialist countries have learned from this, and these problems were correctable without nuking the economy.
