Communism does not work...period, ask the former USSR, and don't think a shit load of textile contracts & shitty consumer electronics parts can turn them into a superpower

i would agree with the statement that in the long run, communism will hinder economic growth, but I believe they can still get there under a communist regime.
Afterall, USSR was a communist country when it became a 'superpower' back in the day, but sustaining that under a communist regime would be next to impossible. ofcourse, it's a new world out there, old rules may not apply to this new world, and I think it's quite clear that a countries economy has a direct impact on their spot on the podium of power.
