can communism survive in a single country was always a big question.

I think the original idea was to try a world revolution but that didn't work out.

Yeah, I remember how my grandfather and everyone he knew fought tooth and nail just to stop America from dismantling communism in eastern Europe!

Oh, wait, he didn't. Everyone celebrated when it fell.
