Why are you linking all these imperialist nations with strong ties to capital and industry? I've never seen someone kick their own ass so hard. Most nations are capitalist nations. The globe is factually dominated by capitalist interests. Congrats, your ideology already won.

North Korea? The Totalitarian Hereditary Dictatorship? Thats communism?

Vietnam's own Wikipedia:

Although Vietnam remains officially committed to socialism as its defining creed, its economic policies have grown increasingly capitalist,[234][235] with The Economist characterising its leadership as "ardently capitalist communists".[236]

Soviet Union also turned into a Totalitarian Dictatorship pretty quickly. The key ingredient that fucks all of these up is centralization. Communism is supposed to be decentralized. The Soviet Union was extremely centralized. Also, I'm not even a communist. I dont believe in hierarchies.
