Well… it depends. There are some very rich Russians living in very expensive yachts on the French Riviera and in Miami. It worked quite well for them. Some people do very well under communism. I can’t help but think that was/is the real intent of communism.

But I REALLY, REALLY want it to work, so we’ll keep trying until it does. Kind of like playing the lottery. Despite all the factual evidence, I REALLY feel I’m going to win this time. And then I’ll say “I told you so.”
