West Bengal has been ruled by the CPI(M)-led Left Front for three decades, making it the world's longest-running democratically-elected communist government.
The Communist Party of India (Marxist) is the leading party in Kerala, West Bengal and Tripura.
Nicauragua was communist when we trained rebels (the Contra) who were mostly the private guard od the previous highly corrupt totaltarian government (non communist btw), so we had a large role in the downfall of that one.
china is the worlds 4th largest economy, For much of China's population, living standards have seen extremely large improvements, and freedom continues to expand, but political controls remain tight - yes they have had human rights issues but we are far from having never had issues and have always been a capitalist country (slavery anyone)
Laos, a communist country, has had great economic growth, its economy grew at 7.2% in 2006,[2] 35th fastest in the world.
so here we have it, successfull, (or was succesful until we got into it in the case of Nicaragua) communist countries, and not all of them have been totalitarian. no they arent pretending to be americans, but who says that everyone has to live like us, we can start talking about all the problems that capitalism has brought to the world (heavy polution, disregard for others, the trade of humans) if you would like.
so maybe doing your homework instead of trying to use age or your "im older than you" philosophy might help you make factual statements.
