For this quiz, all points shall be distributed equally among all quiz takers. Or is that socialism? Or Stalinism? Or Leninism? Or Maoism? Or aren't they all the same anyway so that we can simply equivocate?

North Korea was communist, but the Marxist/Leninist ideology was replaced in their constitution in the early 1970s. Today they follow Juche, which is a policy system that places extreme emphasis on military strength and the cult of personality that surrounds the Supreme Leader and the whole Kim family.

That rather proves the opposite. Did Ceausescu look the same as a Romanian peasant? Inequality in practice is a near-universal feature of Marxist-Leninist systems, although some leaders do a better job of not flaunting it than others.

Every communist country, especially the single-party states, wants to seem democratic. That's why they create more parties, but those always work together with the communist party. So there is no political opposition to them anyway.

According to the article, other parties must "must accept the leading role of the CPC as a condition of being allowed to exist". So I would say that de-facto it is a one-party state.

Communism, by definition, is a form of anarchy, so no government would even exist in a communist society. Just because they claim to be socialist (isn't the same as communism anyway) doesn't make them socialist. The countries on this list are legally communist, as in the constitution says so, which Venezuela also doesn't have. the only reason Nepal is one here is because the communist party currently controls the government.

Are you sure about all that? Because in practice, it seems to be more of a form of totalitarianism, which is obviously the exact opposite of anarchism. On every political compass I've seen, it's very AuthRight. If you can, I would like you to provide a source for that "communism is a form of anarchism" nonsense.

None of these countries are technically communist, nor were any countries ever. North Korea for example has some fascist ideals, and there is no way everyone is equal in that country, (very very few people have wealth, while everyone else is left poor). Therefore I think it is correct to exclude North Korea.

No truely Capitalist state has ever existed either - in reality all economies are mixtures between free market forces and state intervention. So I don't think it is fair to say communism can't work/ hsan't worked or is incompatible with human nature. Marx and other left wing thinkers have had a huge influence on economics and politics as have Adam Smith and other free market advocates

Capitalism and a free market economy are not exactly the same things. Capitalism and regulation are not mutually exclusive. But you could say that pretty much all countries today are a mixture of capitalist and socialist. I don't really know much about North Korea's economy but they might be the only country in the world with close to a 100% planned economy?

Before 1996 Nepal was a monarchy where the king and queen held all of the power. However, the average Nepali saw no improvement in quality of life and average citizen was poor. From 1996-2006 Maoist rebels started a civil war in hopes of helping their communities. Eventually in 2006 the monarchy stepped down and the Communist party was democratically elected and has won the popular vote to this day, even though there are otherpolitical parties in Nepal.

Well... the one-party state is far more a communist than a fascist practice. The USSR existed before any of the fascist regimes came into being, and there have been many more communist one-party states than fascist ones. And I'm not sure how democratic the original republic, the Roman one, was. Not much though, I don't think.
