Successful socialism (Announce)

A common misconception: it was socialism, not communism. Communism is the final goal and hasn't existed anywhere yet. Communism is also the name of the Marxist-Leninist ideology of the Communist party.

As to the countries that had successful socialism, I can name the USSR, Yugoslavia, Romania, Bulgaria, Cuba, Vietnam and China (in the latter 3, the traitors were not allowed to climb to the top of the hierarchy - remember for example the real Gang of Four). I can't speak for the other countries but sure there were others too. Ladislav or Martin can say for Czechoslovakia, if they want.

Another common misconception: socialism in our countries didn't cease to exist because of its failure. As Fidel Castro said, it just committed a suicide! :-(
