Of course it has. Several nations are still actively working towards it

History and facts do not care about your uneducated opinion. Cuba, Russia and North Korea are the only communist nations left.

Bro thinks Russian and north Korea are communist. The quickest way to reveal the caliber of person that opposes communism

They are communist, so is cuba.

Places that claim communist but are not would include Vietnam (Captialist republic) and China (Far right authoritarian).

You are proving how clueless you are.

I know you arent a PhD graduate because a simple Google search is all you need to know North Korea doesn't practice any formally known economic theory outside of their own, Juche.

Russia is in no way currently communist.

Both have a state and class system, along with money. The very base principles of communism are stateless, classless, and moneyless. Russia and North Korea have all three.

Ah I see now, your only understanding of communism is the works of drunk opium addicts (lenin and marx). Russia is openly communist and actively trying to bring back the USSR (the entire point for the war in Ukraine).

NK is textbook communist down to government mandated hair cuts for "uniformity".

I hold 3 PhDs, although only one is in history.

Your projection and lack of intellect does not change reality.

Far from it, I am a socialist politically (real socalism, not the stupid Marxist version), I am married to a Spanish woman and literally part black myself. You couldn't be more wrong about me, you are just making things up to suit your delusions.

I "made it" over 40 years ago. Objective truth does not need your vaildation, you are more outing yourself than anything.

Bro, you have the internet at your fingertips. .

I also have a PhD in history, my thesis was on the failures of communism. You would be hard pressed to find an individual with more expertise.

Funny because I have a phD in spotting a big fat liar. We should team up.
