Reply to comment by cuteman in A new UN report explores how to make human civilization safe from destruction. There’s a way to make civilization extinction-proof. But it won’t be easy. by mossadnik

well really they have just been susceptible to dictatorship and u.s. intervention. I don’t think there is an example of communism that hasn’t fallen to either of those. Personally i’d hedge my bets more on social democracy working, much more palatable for the west and much more within reality without a bunch of people dying needlessly.

Social democracy is still capitalism

The issue is that socialism or communism isn't self sustaining.

The only way models like scandinavian countries work is because of significant subsidy via capitalism.
