It has nothing to do with communism though. Nothing would survive it. It doesn’t require zero opposition, but any functioning government can’t survive well with most of the world trying to collapse it. With that said, Cuba is doing fairly well despite that.
It just makes it sound dubious that it would ever work unless this opposition suddenly vanished. I know the theory was (is) that eventually situation would be such that despite that opposition, it should triumph. But I guess that situation hasn’t been reached.
I don’t know if there’d would be quite as much opposition today. There’d be some obviously, but when the USSR was growing everyone was so much more invested in “stopping the spread of socialism.”
I don’t think there’s as much vocal opposition now because it’s not being taken as a serious threat right now. If that were to change, I’m sure opposition would ramp up.
