Does Cuba, Vietnam, or Laos have any chance of implementing communism?
What societies are closest to implementing communism?

>communism
No because communism mean the end of nation-state.
You mean socialism, and I'd say Cuba is the best example of socialism nowadays.
>>1344747
Venezuela
Soon it will become so poor that there will be no private property.
I believe the Vietnamese have enough of "actual" communism. Lao is dependent on the former.
Cuba is currently switching to capitalism.

Funny how people that actually have to endure communism (or socialism, whatever, fucking pedant kids, I swear to God) want to get out ASAP.
>>1344755
I mean communism. Is there any chance of the Cuban government abolishing the state and all hierarchy?
>>1344796
People want to get out of poor countries regardless of economic system. Mexico is capitalist as fuck, for instance.
Socialism tends to be more popular in poor countries because well-fed proles tend to be less interested in changing the status quo.
>>1344841
Actually, no. Socialism is more popular among upper and middle-class university students.
Poor people vote for socialists because of the gibs me dats, but in their own private lives they go from not giving a shit to being conservative, religious, and all kinds of -phobic.

No
The people who shill for socialism definitely of deserve to live in a tyrannical socialist shithole. Too bad they want to drag everyone else with them.

Cuba is undergoing a somewhat Perestroika/Glasnost situation. Laos idk much about but Vietnam is so not communist. In the globalised world we live in Vietnam experiences corruption and inequality, which communist cunts keep forgetting. You cant erase greed.
>Oh, look! The people are starving. Call the army on them!
Just another day at the socialist utopia

But it is. Unless you're implying that all the McDonalds opening up will be owned by the government instead of the company.

Capitalism isn't Mcdonalds and private property.
You meant to say that Cuba is liberalizing its economy.

Communism isn't an ideology?

Capitalism is the most gibsmedat ideology imaginable

How far has Belarus drifted from the Soviet system?
>>1344834
No
Without a state Cuba would be swollen by the evils of our world, but still Cuba is a based country.

None, by the looks of it. For some reason once people lose their initial revolutionary fervor they don't want to radically reorganize society again. Societies and power hierarchies, like prices, are sticky. There can only be a French Revolution that offers everything up for criticism and change at special times and places.
Since Cuba et al have not pushed far enough to have workers owning the means of production locally they are not likely to start now.
Also no modern country around can maintain a modern standard of living and be completely economically self sufficient. In a world that is overwhelming capitalist and violently hostile to worker ownership over private ownership this means brutal economic siege the closer you get to "communism" via a breakdown of trade and investment. iPhones can't be produced without access to rare mineral mines in places like Africa for example. There really needs to be more than one country, including a world power level one, revolting at once to keep a good friendly trade network alive.

Belarus and the People's Republic of Luchansk are essentially Marxist-Leninist

Is not that easy legit initiatives for workers to own the means of production like Yugoslavia and Catalonia were crushed with no mercy.
