> why doesn't communism work? or actually hold on. the soviet union was a country with a third of the population of the us and it consisted of 95% very inhospitable countryside and 5% hellhole cities. yet it dominated half of europe for half a century, was the second country to develop nukes, first to send people into space, had a huge army, and generally scared the shit out of most of the world. what do you mean "doesn't work"? just because they fell apart literally because they stopped sticking to what worked for them?
