      The PRC is a good place to start, considering it’s on track to becoming the world’s most developed country and advanced socialist state.

      Listen man, just look into the histories of countries that have had communist revolutions, look at what changed after, and look at why they failed. Often times they improved the lives of the working class, and then were destroyed by capitalist interests. There’s outliers like Cambodias Khmer Rouge and Romanias Chowchesku (I’m not going to even try spelling his name correctly) but you have to remember that history and context matter, and that communism is still just an ideology that has differing effects based on execution and the external forces putting pressure on these countries. It was called the Cold War, not the Cold Everybody Try Shit and we will see what works. Capitalist interests had already been deeply entrenched in world economics and power before communism began to take any meaningful positions of power during the Industrial Revolution, and all of these contexts, interests, and events matter.
