    If Communism can’t survive being isolated from other countries then it can’t survive at all.

        Hell, I’d love to see how long USA would survive without being able to invade and destabilise countries to steal their resources and manipulate market prices. No amount of trading can save you if your economy is based on the idea of infinite resources and growth.

      it took centuries for capitalism to replace feudalism, and during those long centuries of mercantilism and colonialism, the rising bourgeoisie were suppressed by the feudal absolutist aristocracy. It was only after long centuries of class struggle that the bourgeoisie became the ruling class and the feudal aristocracy became a historical curiosity. And yet, in some parts of the world, there are still constitutional monarchs (England, Belgium) and absolute monarchs (Saudi Arabia). Some day, the proletariat will succeed the bourgeoisie, even if it takes centuries. cool-dad
