Many ancient and indigenous societies were able to function very efficiently with a communist government, I don’t see why Laos, Cuba, Vietnam, and Venezuela’s attempts have been so terrible in the way that they are completely authoritarian. The Iroquois Nations’s democratic government was basically the foundation of the US’s democratic government, and they were also a communist society. So I see many examples of primitive communism being able to function. I even found out about an Indian state called Perula that is also a successful comminist state. I don’t see why we can’t make communism and socialism work out in countries like Laos, Cuba, Vietnam, and Venezuela. Forgive me if anything I said is wrong.

- Laos, Cuba and Vietnam are doing very well considering the constant threat of imperialism, and genocidal US sanctions in Cuba’s case.
- Venezuela is not communist, but the government is guided by Bolivarian socialism and is doing fairly well considering, again, the genocidal US sanctions.
- The US does not have a democratic government by any stretch of the imagination.
- I’m not aware of any Indian state called “Perula”. If you mean Kerala, it’s still subject to the national government and therefore extremely limited.
- Communism can’t feasibly be implemented in only one country, and certainly not while imperialism still exists. There is an absolutely necessary transitional stage, the dictatorship of the proletariat, which currently exists in all AES countries.
- “Communist state” is an oxymoron.
