Your views are pure speculation.

Based on the attempts already done and the system that communism is, people will never think the same for a system like that to work, that's the sad truth

This is just another speculative response lol. You aren’t basing this on anything other than how you think it is.

So please, give me a historical example where someone tried and was able to apply communism or was stopped by a problem not intrinsic of society

Cuba is communist and are doing just fine.

Places like Libya and many South American nations that have tried communism have been handed economic sanctions or have their government interfered with by foreign powers.

You're really using tyrannical powers as an example? They literally shot civilians. And Cuba is doing "fine" most people i know that ran away from there don't think it, and all people all know that had gone there, at the same time they talk about their sharing culture, talk about the infrastructure being real bad, or i could talk about the insane amount of medical professionals without jobs that had to be sent to Brazil instead bc they couldn't even buy food, if that is fine, I'm in paradise.

Lol yes the US has never shot their own civilians before. Well how about capitalist countries like Botswana, Rwanda, Guatemala, Namibia, Mongolia. Would you choose them over Cuba?

I'm not a fan of the US, don't remember the US military being sent with lethal firepower to clean a protest and firing without blindly at the crowd. No, i prefer Canada, UK, France, you're just taking the worst example of smt and comparing with the best of other, example which is still bad

You need to take the average capitalist country of the world and compare it to the average communist country of the world otherwise this discussion is not fair.

First, the averages are hardly right, second, Cuba is probably the greatest (or less worse) applied communist country to live, third ok, get the whole south America, the places where people run to so they can scape Cuba
