alt Hacker NewsI would love to hear an example of a successful communist state. You can even restrict it to a limited period in time (USSR 1959-1968 or something).
I promise that I will not try to discredit your answer. I'm just curious what people think.
But if you come back with "the communism I have in mind hasn't been tried yet" then I will definitely make fun of your answer.

China claims to be building a successful communist state. The argument goes that you need to have wealth first before you can redistribute it, and China is currently in the wealth-building phase of achieving communism.

What is your rubric for successful? And does it shift if that state was the target of wars of aggression or embargoes?
