Like in, say, North Korea? Where a few hundred thousand people starved to death in the late '90's? While in South Korea, where the people, topography, weather, etc. were the same, one of the world's most successful economies was built? Yep, score another victory for the world's only remaining true communist state.

The two large nations that adopted "real" communism in the last century were the Soviet Union and China. By no coincidence, they were the two large nations that suffered famines killing tens of millions of their populations (the great famines - i.e. Kulak extermination - of the '20s and '30s in the S.U., and the Great Leap Forward in the '50s in China). Again by no coincidence, these were the two large 20th century famines brought on, and then exacerbated, by government policies.

Before you fall too much in love with Communism, have a chat with people who lived under that system. You'll find that while millions of people risked their lives to escape communist countries, not a whole lot of capitalist subjects moved there. Me, I'll take my chances with the evil, rapacious corporations that dominate my daily existence.
