There's never been a Santa Claus state for the same reason. The
trappings of a Communist state can however be used to keep an Elite in
power, until the contradictions become to great for even those
benefiting to ignore. Don't feel bad, Capitalism doesn't actually exist
either, Marx invented it to give a name to his bogy man. (I have read
parts of Das Kapital), reading the whole thing would require more Scotch
that exists in all of Scotland).

The USSR and every other so-called communist state were actually
State-Capitalists. That is they were in fact capitalist however the means of
production were owned by the state rather than individuals or corporations (who
are, as we all know, legal persons).
So whatever happened to the USSR and the Warsaw Pact states, it wasn't
happening to commies.

Commumism was never containable
Communism WAS contained.
I don't know if it was contained so much as left to implode by itself.
