Explain. Because the proletariat are still in control of the state. Socialism is the transitional stage towards Communism.

Taiwan, Japan and South Korea also lifted millions out of poverty and did it quicker

They are all colonized by Amerika you dummy. And lifted out of poverty? Are you having a laugh? Suicide rates are high in those countries, there's constant abuse of the proletariat and people becoming poorer and poorer but sure.

You could say that communist countries have been attacking capitalist countries for decades as well

What a fucking joke, completely ignoring Cuba? Vietnam? Or hell, even DPRK? How about all the South American countries that Amerika overthrew? Or how about the same with Iran back in the 1950s? Yugoslavia??

Oh, how about Libya, which was considered one of the most successful African countries until Amerika and NATO intervened and now it's destitute and has open slave markets?

How about Amerika having 800 military bases all around the world? Who has never been in a defensive war, never actually NOT been in a war?
