I mean, this is technically how China did it.

Took two civil wars interrupted by a prolonged foreign military occupation / genocide. But forty years after it started! Bam! Real Full Blown Communis- oh wait, shit. It's :deng-smile: doing free market neoliberal reformism. Well... maybe give it another thirty or sixty years. Hope China doesn't go through a period of unprecedented growth and prosperity, tho. That would ruin everything.
