@samueljohnson Moreover, the states with the most external pressure against them on earth are Communist and yet exceed capitalist standards of living in every way. As an example, Cuba, blockaded by the United States to a point where they receive almost 0 external resources, has a higher literacy rate, life expectancy, and access to medical care than the United States itself. Your claim that Communism doesn’t work is laughable and my non-response to it is not from inability.
