Communism derives from being actually delusional.
"Bu-but those states only failed because the capitalist cia did this and that"
BIPOC if foreign intervention led to your states to fail, they still failed. They should have been able to prevent it, but they didn't, because communism sucks

Where's the Soviet Union now?
China is ruled by the Communist Party, but its economic model is a weird version of NEP on steroids, time will tell about its success, regardless of that I don't want a global recession because of a Chinese failure. It actually resembles dirigisme much more than NEP nowadays.

Our definitions of success are different, for you victory is is an eternal empire of slow decadence and fragmentation. For me its an ephemeral absolute empire that forever haunts history.
And Deng Xiaoping/ Xi Jiping thought is perfectably compatible with Marxism-Leninism
