@GordonGChang Communism is dead globally - because when there's free food in canteen, free housing and guaranteed job, people gets lazy, selfish and do nothing productive daily.
Now is just socialism as in Sweden, Norway, Iceland, Denmark and UK with subsidized medical care and housing.
Countries with Socialist Elements
Venezuela: Self-described as socialist (Bolivarian Revolution). Heavy state control of oil and industries, extensive redistribution — but has faced severe economic crises, hyperinflation, and shortages.
Many nations have socialist parties or policies without being fully socialist (e.g., parts of Latin America or Europe).
In short, the clearest answers to countries that actively practice socialism (in the classical sense) are China, Cuba, Vietnam, Laos, and North Korea.

Pure socialism (state ownership of the "means of production") is rare today and historically linked to economic struggles in many cases.
Most "socialist" countries have introduced market reforms for growth (e.g., China and Vietnam).
@loren90h@GrwaNnKqMn5nG68 Because Surgeon general of US says fever screening at airport is sufficient when it's not. China shuts down airport in one week but US keep it open all the time.
Atypical asymptomatic cases spread it globally
The iran-US war does looks like this. Both sides thinks they're righteous, blessed by God, fight for justice and freedom. The GOP-Dems fights is the same.
America will be destroyed by war, internal fighting, Civil War ver. 2.0 soon.
The US and global economies rely heavily on China for energy-related products. China dominates rare earth processing (70-90%), essential for refining jet fuel, diesel, and kerosene. It is also a major refiner and exporter of petrochemicals that support these fuels.

Electronics, batteries, magnets, and solar panels also trace back heavily to Chinese processing and manufacturing. Rare earths and components make full decoupling complex in tech and defense. Overall, everyday items like toys, furniture, and machinery parts show deep problems

Pharmaceuticals add critical risk. China controls much of the active ingredients (APIs) for medicines, including antibiotics. This creates supply chain fragility for healthcare systems
