1.4 billion people live under Communist rule and they are rapidly excelling to a new Chinese middle class as the middle classes in "capitalist" West are in serious decline. Communism hasn't failed, it has morphed into a form of free market Communism that no one envisioned 50 years ago. In the meanwhile, the "freedom loving" capitalist countries (US, UK, EU) go out of their way to sanction smaller, weaker Communist countries like Cuba and the DPRK, then after the West economically gangs up on these countries to destroy them economically, the Western MSM will declare that, "Communism and Socialism is a failure." It's Predatory Capitalism that is becoming a complete societal failure for all but the 1% of millionaires and billionaires who siphon the wealth of capitalist countries into their own pockets leaving the average citizens unable to afford food, shelter, and god forbid actually buying a home.
