Hello,

New to this sub. Generally speaking, I’m a fan of free market but acknowledge it as an imperfect and flawed system.

So my question: is there a marxist system in place today that has a thriving society? I see a lot of dismissal of the USSR collapse, Chinese revolution and Khmer Rouge as “not real communism”. But if these are the main examples of real world implementation, I’ll take capitalism 10/10 times. So does the classless, post scarcity world that communism promises only exist in theory? Is a social democracy system like Scandinavia seem like a realistic thing to strive for over communism?

Let me know your thoughts.

I’ve been a musician most of my life and played professionally in Nashville for years. I had a family and music went on the back burner while working a 9-5. I’m setting up my drums in a new house and need some new music to get me excited about playing again. Open to all genres, styles, time periods. Thank you in advance!
