>the USSR couldn't make something work, so absolutely no one can
Vietnam has been communist since the they won their war. They have one of the lowest poverty rates of all developed nations (6% vs US's 18%) and they're the 2nd "happiest" place in SEA (happiness index thing). If you're in the US and on food stamps/section 8 your life would objectively be better as a laborer in Hanoi.
